[hobbit] RE: **Caution-External**: RE: [hobbit] monitoring files and messages-newbie

As an alternative to namei you can do...

ls -l /var
ls -l /var/log
ls -l /var/log/syslog7

and then give me the print outs.  This will confirm the theory to see if
your hobbit can read the /var/log/syslog7 file or not.
