I would like to vew several of the log files, as a normal user. The files:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/uucp/Log
come quickly to mind.
If i do
tail -f /var/log/messages
I get
tail: /var/log/messages: Permission denied
This inspite of the fact that in linuconf, in the Users Account, User
Information, Privileges, "may view log files" is ticked "granted".
May I know, please, what does granting "may view log files" in teh user profile
in linuxconf _really_ do, and also, is it possible to grant myself permission
to view these log files ?
Thank you, and regards,
-Greg
