wait a sec...I recognize that name. I only know how to enable private logging thanks to your detailed and informative blog post! Seriously, it's one of the favorite macOS things I've read in a while. I loved the step by step walk through using gdb you showed.

Though just today I saw that apparently an enterprise policy config can enable private logging in 10.15.3+ without having to disable SIP. https://georgegarside.com/blog/macos/sierra-console-private/

For reference for others: this is the blog post by OP on enabling private logging in Catalina. check it out! https://saagarjha.com/blog/2019/09/29/making-os-log-public-o...

I’m glad you appreciated it, but I think it also happened to be some of the fastest-to-deteriorate advice I’ve given :) I should go back and revisit this, as on my system I have it currently stuck in a state where it unconditionally enables private data logging at boot (which mean my crash logs have personal information in them unless I remember to turn it off with the workaround I’ve been using until now…)
