Thanks
the only likely entry in /etc/syslog.conf is *.emerg * ( not used in Networker)
We have changed the entry in Networker to use local1.notice which will append 
the 
tape mount request to /nsr/logs/messages

For example, if you have the following entries in /etc/syslog.conf

*.err   /var/log/errors
*.notice        *
local0.alert    @remote.syslog.consolidation.host

then your critical tape mount message (at local0.alert) will end up going
into /var/log/errors, to all users logged in on the system, and to your
remote syslog consolidation host.  The last place is easy to see, but
the first two happen because the facilities are wildcarded and `alert'
is a higher priority than either `err' and `notice'.

In short, check your /etc/syslog.conf and look for a destination of `*'
or that mentions a list of users, and see if it's for all facilities
and a lesser priority than alert.
