	Hello all,

	Be default FreeBSD has many files in /var/log group write. What is
the reason for that? Can we change this to be group read only?
	Also, would it make more sence to ship /var/log/messages o-r by
default? Why do we want all world to know what goes into our
/var/log/messages files?
	[we would also need to modify /etc/newsyslog.conf's mode column
to 640 then]

-- Yan
