Read/write errors often get counted as "emergencies". Syslog doesn't distinguish between reading a CDROM and reading the swap device. So it prints it out to all users (which is what the line-ending '*') means.
One solution is to change this behavior so that it outputs such messages to a program which then determines if the message is important enough to send to a tty/console. Look for "swatch" and other similar syslog-action script-handlers.
Hi all

Thanks in Advance,

racoon
RACOON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RACOON(8)NAME
racoon -- IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon
SYNOPSIS
racoon [-BdFv46] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] [-p isakmp-port]
DESCRIPTION
racoon speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish security association with other hosts. SPD (Security Policy
Database) in the kernel usually triggers to start racoon. racoon usually sends all of informational messages, warnings and error messages to
syslogd(8) with the facility LOG_DAEMON, the priority LOG_INFO. Debugging messages are sent with the priority LOG_DEBUG. You should config-
ure syslog.conf(5) appropriately to see these messages.
-B Install SA(s) from the file which is specified in racoon.conf(5).
-d Increase the debug level. Multiple -d will increase the debug level even more.
-F Run racoon in the foreground.
-f configfile
Use configfile as the configuration file instead of the default.
-l logfile
Use logfile as the logging file instead of syslogd(8).
-p isakmp-port
Listen to ISAKMP key exchange on port isakmp-port instead of the default port number, 500.
-v The flag causes the packet dump be more verbose, with higher debugging level.
-4
-6 Specifies the default address family for the sockets.
racoon assumes the presence of kernel random number device rnd(4) at /dev/urandom. Informational messages are labeled info, and debugging
messages are labeled debug. You have to configure syslog.conf(5) if you want to see them in a logging file.
RETURN VALUES
The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.
FILES
/usr/local/v6/etc/racoon.conf default configuration file.
SEE ALSO ipsec(4), racoon.conf(5), syslog.conf(5), setkey(8), syslogd(8)HISTORY
The racoon command first appeared in ``YIPS'' Yokogawa IPsec implementation.
