No. Rahul, "ordinary users" do read mail, and if they easily > can find out how to use journalctl, they could equally easily find out how > to get root mail sent to their own local mail spool > I don't buy into this argument at all. For one, there are graphical log utilities that a regular user would be a lot more comfortable and then root mail is mostly useless for a regular user. If you think a regular user is spending time reading mails from root or reading /var/log/messages, you got a definition of "normal user" that doesn't look anything close to realistic. Anyone who is interested enough in reading root mails in a Fedora box should be more than capable of installing an MTA. Rahul
