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.)

this is a very very bad reminder because you do not
all day long "cat /var/log/messages"


Of course. As long as all goes well, I have no reason to look at it, on any computer, and that's another reason I'm not planning on doing it.

BTW, I got this as a CC of the reply you sent to the list. I'm adding the list itself as a recipient of my reply so that I don't have to remember to reply again when this shows up on the list.
