How can you login if you're still at the "ok" prompt?
No Solaris is running at this point.

The ok prompt pops up when I open a terminal window and log in.

su - myuser
password

then on the ok prompt:

"workstation#147: su myuser succeded for xxx on /dev/pts/13"

How do I turn off that damn thing?

You're sure the shell prompt isn't an "ok" as well?

Oo, I guess he has X up and the console is running behind, I've seen this
happen a long time ago, quite annoying when the whole X scrolls up because
of the console messages being written on the screen at the same time as X
is running... I assume he has his console pointed at the wrong device...

Dont remember how I got around that, belive I just started a console
window :-) and that took the output... it was many years ago...

Wondering why this happpens. Is dtlogin enabled?
xterm -C should capture the console output as a workaround.

This isn't just a case of syslog logging to the screen?
First, the user logs in and gets a prompt. Then syslog logs the
message to logged in users (default behavior in old versions of
solaris?) This gets appended to whatever's on the terminal, in this
case, his prompt. Hitting enter will supply the user with a fresh
prompt.

This behavior (logging to the screen) can be changed in /etc/
syslog.conf :

From syslog.conf(4)
The action field indicates where to forward the message.
Values for this field can have one of four forms:

o A comma-separated list of usernames, which indicates
that messages specified by the selector are to be writ-
ten to the named users if they are logged in.

o An asterisk, which indicates that messages specified by
the selector are to be written to all logged-in users.
