The problem here is the 'klogd' daemon. Basically it sits and listens
for kernel messages, and then it passes them on to the console or the
syslogd to log to a file. 

Basically you need to change the -c parameter to not have it log to
the console. 

On RedHat/KRUD systems you can edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog and add a
'-c 4' or the like to the klogd options and then restart syslogd.

That just disallows other users to 'write' to your terminal.
