Does anything get posted to the log that a normal user should not see?
I suppose it depends on the machine's context. Can traffic analysis on
the log be used to determine what another user is doing any more than
watching top? If you're concerned about normal users reading logs, you
need to look at those logs and determine why you are concerned and
determine the implcations of those concerns.
