Hi all,
I just found that I could not do "dmesg" as normal user in a Leap 15.3 installation. I'm used to be able to do this from my Factory machines.
Investigation showed, that Leap's kernel sets CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT=y while the Factory kernel (at least kernel-vanilla and kernel-default from Kernel:HEAD) does not.
I do not care which default is chosen, but for consistency I'd suggest to settle for one of the two possible options ;-)
FWIW, the reason is that Leap 15.3 now uses the SLES 15 SP3 kernel directly, and that is locked down in this regard. I fear Tumbleweed is different to that. Perhaps we can also enable it for Tumbleweed? Ciao, Marcus
