2. i'm getting syslog when a user presses CTRL-z although he didn't actualy did anything? is that normal?

Hi rAz207

1. Apply an access list to the vty lines and log the matches/violations to a syslog server.

2. You could limit the messages logged to the console based on severity, use the logging console global configuration command. BUT:
The effect of the log keyword with the IP access list (extended) command depends on the setting of the logging console command. The log keyword takes effect only if the logging console level is set to 6 or 7. If you change the default to a level lower than 6 and specify the log keyword with the IP access list (extended) command, no information is logged or displayed.

Logging Levels:
0=emergencies
1=alerts
2=Critical conditions
3=errors
4=warnings
5=Normal but significant condition
6=informational
7=debugging
regards,
Alain
