           Product: XFree86
         Component: program
           Summary: /var/log/XFree86.*.log not readable by non-root user in
                    mdk-9.1rc2
           Version: 4.3-1mdk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


This problem was not there in mdk-9.1rc1, where XFree86.0.log looked like: 
 
-rw-r-----    1 root     ndeb         33122 Mar  5 10:59 /var/log/XFree86.0.log 
 
and was readable by the user who was running the X session. 
 
Now, in mdk-9.1rc2, this looks like: 
 
-rw-r-----    1 root     adm         33122 Mar  5 10:59 /var/log/XFree86.0.log 
 
and is not readable by a non-root user. 
 
My install is minimum security ("standard"). If the kernel log (dmesg) is available to 
non-root 
users, what is the point of making XFree86.*.log not readable ? This should be the way 
it was 
in mdk-9.1rc1.
