Can anyone help?

I have users who keep getting qdaemon messages on their telnet sessions, which is creating a bot of an "atmosphere"!

Is there anyway to stop this? I have tried putting mesg -n in their log-in profile to no avail!

All users log-in to unix with the same name!

I am pulling my hair out now!!!

Take a look at your /etc/syslog.conf, you'll probably need to edit this to stop the messages from qdaemon being written to the users terminal.
