Hello, it's been quite a while that I noticed that any ordinary user, not just root, can type "dmesg" to see the kernel ring buffer. My question now is: Why? I often saw things in the kernel ring buffer which I don't want every user to know (e.g. some telephone numbers with ISDN). Are there any problems in just letting root get the contents of the kernel ring buffer?
