I think this is the biggest thing. Obviously we don't want to /dev/null
log lines but at the same time the current format is pretty useless to
us. I guess it might be best to do as much cleanup as possible and then
see where things are.
Actually, there's a huge portion of what is in the current logs that
needs to either:
1. be dumped out by epylog's weeder
2. be stopped from occurring on the system generating the message.
Michael, if you need any assistance with this, let me know, I have a
fair bit of experience adding weedlists to epylog.
