Well the answer would be use some incantation of `exec 2> foo.err',
but that won't work because the messages are coming from syslog
writing directly to the tty.  You'd need either change syslog.conf so
that it doesn't write the messages in question to the user your logged
in as (probably root) or log in as a different user.  See man
syslog.conf for more details.
