Hello all, Be default FreeBSD has many files in /var/log group write. What is the reason for that? Can we change this to be group read only? Also, would it make more sence to ship /var/log/messages o-r by default? Why do we want all world to know what goes into our /var/log/messages files? [we would also need to modify /etc/newsyslog.conf's mode column to 640 then] -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."
