Fixing the source of the messages is beyond me, but making them
disappear from the log is possible. Here are my notes on some
annoying message I managed to get rid of:

systemd drivel
==============

There are tons of these messages in the log files:

Nov 18 19:59:01 zooty systemd-logind[936]: New session 413 of user tom.
Nov 18 19:59:02 zooty systemd-logind[936]: Removed session 413.

the rsyslogd filtering should be able to get rid of them:

Make a new file: /etc/rsyslog.d/systemd-drivel.conf

:programname, isequal, "systemd-logind" ~
:msg, contains, "Activating via systemd" ~
:msg, contains, "Activation via systemd failed" ~
:msg, contains, "org.freedesktop.systemd" ~

(While I was in there, tossed in a few more rules to get rid
of other less frequent but still annoying clutter messages.)
