Greetings:

I was trying to look at the system messages this evening, and this is what I got...

[root@BurningBushes ~]# grep shell | /var/log/messages
-bash: /var/log/messages: Permission denied

It didn't display anything on my terminal window, and I had to do a [Control] C to get out of it...

Sincerely yours,
