[j-nsp] monitor start messages

[Tom Storey]

Just a thought, but have you tried doing a "chmod 664 /var/log/messages"?

That should make it world readable, so should not matter what your user
level/permissions are.

I would also compare the user/group ownership against a working box to make
sure its all the same.
