[gdm-list] sysadmin question: avoiding entries in /var/log/secure from XDMCP authentications



We have server systems running Gnome Display Manager which remote users use to start an X session with XDMCP. This puts messages in /var/log/secure at every connect/disconnect, related to polkit. We don't need the users authenticated for console activities like mounting a CD drive. Want to not have these messages being logged. How can they be stopped? CentOS 6.5 is OS; Gnome version is 2.28. Thanks.

Message examples:
Mar 31 10:24:21 hostname polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session27 (system bus name :1.509 [/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8)
Mar 31 10:24:27 hostname pam: gdm-password: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user example by (uid=0)
Mar 31 10:24:27 hostname polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session27 (system bus name :1.509, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus)
