John:

Over the years auditors at my company have come up with a similar question. While I give it to the auditors I do no give it out to say the average person.
1. I have seen passwords on the syslog.
2. I have also seen arguments that have come up in meetings over how operators replied to messages and other operator actions. They (operators) do not want to be second guessed on day to day jobs (they get enough if that from their boss and me). Any information that is pertinent to the job is in their joblog end of story.

Well, that's the general question. Is there any reason why the "average joe", regardless of job function, should *NOT* have the ability to look at SYSLOG? Does anybody put "sensitive" data out to it?
