Best practice to allow 3rd party app to read messages file.
What is the best practice to allow a 3rd party health monitoring app to read the messages file. Since messages is a system file and is owned by root the app cannot read the file. I don't want to run the app as root so how should I allow the app to read the file. The read function is actually built into the apps binary so its not using /bin/view or /bin/more to read messages which I believe stops me from being able to add the permissions in the sudoers file.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
