kernel.dmesg_restrict
April 21st, 2019
----------------------------------------

I wonder why it is that dmesg is installed in /usr/bin and /bin in
OpenSUSE by default... Should it not be in /usr/sbin and /sbin? Also the
kernel.dmesg_restrict sysctl is off by default.

=> I recently read an article on phoronix talking about the same thing, but

it did not mention SuSE specifically, but it did mention that Ubuntu
decided to keep dmesg available to lusers for reasons including "the
need to update documentation over dmesg access". lol.

Happy Easter everyone. ☺️
