this is "logrotaded" - logrotate keeps the permissions/owner/group if

I'm the only person who ever uses my laptop. If I wanted, then, I could
use this to make /var/log/messages world readable for convenience. No,
I'm not going to do it because unless I do it to all of my machines it's
too confusing to remember which ones I've done it to and which I
haven't, and I don't think it's a good idea in general. (If nothing
else, needing root access to read that file reminds you that what you're
doing is "admin stuff," not normal user things.)
