I just keep a root login on console #1 (ALT-F1) doing "less /var/log/messages"
followed by giving the "F" command to less once it starts up. That's
equivalent to doing "tail -f /var/log/messages", except you can do CTRL-C
and scroll back and forth thru the log, then do "F" again to go back to
watching the tail of the file.
