IIRC this works with volatile journal data in /run, thus I assume you are interested in persistent journal setup. Access list granting read access on /var/log/journal to members of wheel group is adjusted at package install time. In RHEL there is no /var/log/journal by default so after user creates it has to setup access list on directory manually.

No, "wheel" can not read the journal files in /run either. The steps above were done without /var/log/journal, by accident. I think this is good, actually, because it means that the straightforward way to enable persistent journals, a simple mkdir /var/log/journal, will give consistent results. > Access list granting read access on /var/log/journal to members of wheel > group is adjusted at package install time. So the access rights might change when systemd is updated or reinstalled? I did # mkdir /var/log/journal # reboot # yum reinstall systemd and "wheel" still can't read the system journal. Your reply now makes me think that the actual behaviour here is more by accident than by design, but I must be wrong, no? Too many systemd version to keep track of what's where. Anyway, I think I can close this as dupe of #1101226. As for RHEL-7.2, we will rebase systemd to systemd-219. Package is already in works and should be available for testing sometime next week. And there we have tmpfiles.d snippet which takes care of setting appropriate ACLs on both /run/log/journal and /var/log/journal. And btw, in case you guys are interested we can ping you when RHEL systemd-219 build is available, so you could give it a try and test it in Cockpit setup. Note that package will be quite different from the one in Fedora. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1101226 *** (In reply to Michal Sekletar from comment #4) > Too many systemd version to keep track of what's where.
