"show logging" not available in privilege 7 anymore

[IEENRESEAU]

Hi,

I am encoutering an issue on some Catalysts 3750/3560/2960 on IOS 12.2(55). Users logged on privilege 7 can't use the "show logging" command anymore. The command vas available on previous IOS like 12.2(50).

I fixed it with the command "privilege exec level 7 show logging" but I wanted to know if it was intentional or not, as I couldn't find anything about a change on the privilege 7 rights int any of the Cisco's release notes between 12.2(50) and 12.2(55).

Do anyone know about that ?

This was implemented as a security feature. Take a look at:

Hi Neno,

Thank you for your answer.

I find it wierd that an information like that is not viewable by the public and I don't see why they have done such changes.

Anyway, thanks again. Your link is very helpful, as I now have proof and will be able to communicate on this internally.

Regards,

Julian

Hi Julian-

From what I can see it was a security enhancement. It was done to prevent unauthorized users from gaining sensitive information from the device.
