console-kit-deamon warnings filling up syslog file

[David Fox]

Noticed something going on here over the last few days:

Jun 22 10:21:43 newbox console-kit-daemon[15997]: WARNING: Failed to
acquire org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit
Jun 22 10:21:43 newbox console-kit-daemon[15997]: WARNING: Could not

This thing hits my syslog file every 3 seconds, and as a result I have
a 19 megabyte syslog file.

I noticed this only recently, I think there was an aptitude update on
console-kit-deamon but I can't find it.

If it's a DNS issue, I don't have trouble navigating to sites etc.

How do I stop the scribbling?
