I think it's reasonable for /var/log/secure to require an extra level of authentication, but for /var/log/messages to be readable by wheel. It's one of the first things I do in deploying a system of my own. Note that if you're using the systemd journal (and you are, in recent Fedora, including persistent logging to disk with F19), adding yourself to the 'systemd-journal' group will allow you to see system logs with 'journalctl'. (I had argued that this should just be 'wheel', but there we are.) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
