Your right, it's not a huge deal and at the standard security level a normal 
user cannot view /var/log/messages. So there's no worries there. However, in 
a more business environment is it normal for a sysadmin to know or find out 
what a users password maybe? 

Thanks for taking a look at this. That was the first time I had tried using 
bugzilla or any method of reporting a bug, so I apologize for the 
duplication.

No that's not my real password. Granted only root can view that file but I don't think 
root should 
be able to see that info.
