They do have permissions to read journal entries that come from their
userid.
1. Thanks, I've seen Lennart's reply regarding this in a separate sub-thread
(boy, it's getting hard to follow this topic)
2. But as I've shown in my reply to him, cron-jobs output is not logged
to this "personal" log, but rather to the system-wide log which isn't
readable by regular users.
So although the "per-user" syslog feature is really good, it doesn't
apply to the case at hand.
Do you have a real (i.e: working) solution for users to read the
output of their own cron-jobs (besides mail of course).
Without this, you propose to cut an important functionality from
almost everyone (default).
Instead, let's remove MTA from *minimal* install, but not from *default*.
