I am getting messages on the console that I do not desire to be there.

For example:

Code:
su(pam_unix)[3787]: session opened for root by (uid=1000)
sshd(pam_unix)[3842]: session opened for user starrbuck by (uid=1)

How can I not have these printed to the console?

Do you have a system logger installed and running (sysklogd, syslog-ng, metalog, etc)? If so, please post the config for it.

syslog-ng.conf:

Code:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.conf.gentoo,v 1.5 2005/05/12 05:46:10 mr_bones_ Exp $
#
# Syslog-ng default configuration file for Gentoo Linux
# contributed by Michael Sterrett

options {
        chain_hostnames(off);
        sync(0);

        # The default action of syslog-ng 1.6.0 is to log a STATS line
        # to the file every 10 minutes.  That's pretty ugly after a while.
        # Change it to every 12 hours so you get a nice daily update of
        # how many messages syslog-ng missed (0).
        stats(43200);
};

source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

# By default messages are logged to tty12...
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
# ...if you intend to use /dev/console for programs like xconsole
# you can comment out the destination line above that references /dev/tty12
# and uncomment the line below.
#destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };

log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };

The last line of your config is your problem.
