Fix /var/log/messages and /var/run/dmesg.boot permissions
If a regular user that does not belong to to the wheel group issues:
% dmesg -a
dmesg: sysctl kern.msgbuf: Operation not permitted
However, a user may circumvent this restriction by either:
% cat /var/log/messages
Or
% cat /var/run/dmesg.boot
Set the proper permissions to both files. Fix relevant manual pages.
Given that this has been the normal behavior since the beginning, maybe the fix
should be the other way around?
