Never mind. I see what you mean. FWIW, I agree we can chmod 644 /var/log/dmesg, as the dmesg command is not restricted in the first place by default (and you need something like SELinux to restrict it, anyway). That said, users that need to poke around with /var/log/dmesg should probably belong to the adm group. Also, you CAN just chmod /var/log/dmesg, and it will retain the permissions, at least for the "I have /bin/dmesg" case. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
