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...

If you have correctly configured any msgs checks, and hobbit can't read the relevant log file, the test shows up yellow, warning which file it could not read.
