I am still very salty about dmesg beign disabled by default.
It was a tool I used for the past 20 years to troubleshoot numerous problems.
And before everyone starts telling me I can enable it:
I do not have root rights on some of the client's servers.
To get them to enable that means submitting a change request to a committee that has almost no technical knowledge.
The answer just comes back as: "They must have been disabled for a reason"
So, now I have to log a support call to their server admins every time I need to see dmesg output...
The return times on those calls ( as these are not regarded as critical or important) are 7 days.
Why can't they just hide the dmesg output that has security implications ?
Those are 99% of the time not things normal users want to see any way ...
