Currently only DMESG and CONSOLE record types are protected, and it isn't obvious that they are using a capability check. Instead switch to explicit root directory mode of 0750 to keep files private by default. This will allow the removal of the capability check, which was non-obvious and forces a process to have possibly too much privilege when simple post-boot chgrp for readers would be possible without it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
