:Moin,

:I ported the security.bsd.unprivileged_read_msgbuf from FreeBSD.  This 
:sysctl prevents unprivileged users from reading the message buffer.  A 
:nice feature especially for machines with lot of shell users :)

:With kern.unprivileged_read_msgbuf=1 (default)

:% dmesg

:
:With kern.unprivileged_read_msgbuf=0
:
:% dmesg
:dmesg: sysctl kern.msgbuf: Operation not permitted
:
:I added the sysctl now under kern, but I think a sysctl named security 
:would be a good idea for such options?!

    Pretty good, I will commit it with some changes.  I am going to
    allow wheel group to access the message log in addition to the
    superuser.
