Hello everyone, I have a security question. I was wondering what the
risks are in making /var/log/messages readable by everyone. I am often
checking this log and right now I need to su every time to do it. I
have not modified syslog.conf in anyway, so the entry for messages still
reads:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
This is on my laptop, which is not used as any time of server or
anything. But since I'm a newbie I thought it would be a good idea to
check before changing around these types of security settings...
Thanks,
-Forrest
