1. Probably no-one, if you have good password and don't use it anywhere else, but at least I really like to have some security
2. Because I need it?
3. At least I have my server and desktop computer connected to internet all the time so it's pretty much impossible to disable access to everyone completely.

Doesn't sysklogd slowly fill up rootfs space with the logs, though?
My year old laptops auth.log is currenly 43.0 KB so it probably clears it automatically.

Yes it seems to remove over week old entries.

I don't think that tail is heavy or is it?
