How to turn off certain syslog messages

Here's my syslog config:

 

syslog {

 

authpriv from notice

 

authpriv to emerg

 

cron from err

 

cron to emerg

 

daemon from warning

 

daemon to emerg

 

include none

 

kern from warning

 

kern to emerg

 

mail from err

 

mail to emerg

 

messages from warning

 

messages to crit

 

userlog from warning

 

userlog to emerg

 

remote server zenoss {

 

host 10.140.31.6

 

local ip none

 

remote port 514

 

}

 

}

 

As you can see I've switched cron to alert only between err and emerg, yet I still get Informational messages like this constantly: USER root pid 1129 cmd /usr/sbin/ntpclient -c 1 -s -h 127.2.0.2 >/dev/null 2>&1

 

I also want to calm down ssh and ssl messages as a simple login to the web gui or ssh of our unit, creates hundreds of informational messages as well.

 

Any help appreciated...........is this a bug?

 

Thanks

 

P.S. I'm running 10.2.4-655-HF4.
