Can't read, should be red

Does anyone else believe that if a check, msgs for example, should be read if it can't read /var/log/messages?

It only makes sense for it to call attention in this case, does it not?

I bring this up because I just installed a Xymon server at home and noticed that msgs was green and I had not given my xymon user permission to read it yet. I believe it would be a great reminder and security would benefit.

Just throwing my two cents in. Now a days it might take three or four cents, though...
