I suspect two problems: first, tq is warning about a legitimate problem:
for one of your device classes (dialup or network typically) the
calculated proportion in use is negative -- this suggests that
csuite/tq/classtable is not accurate in terms of the number of devices in
a given class that are available.

The second problem would be a misconfiguration of /etc/syslogd.conf --
those messages should only be broadcast to a few administrators, not
everyone.
