Try 

[root at localhost mario]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Then use <CTRL> + <C> to exit/quit the tail part.

here's an example 

[olivares at localhost ~]$ tail -f /var/log/messages
tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: Permission denied
tail: no files remaining
[olivares at localhost ~]$ su -
Password: 
[root at localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages
