No, because tty's gid (the only thing that is used, the tty group itself is never referenced, AFAICS) is configurable, while the journal group isn't. They *are* very similar in that the tty gid can vary between systems, and the group to access logs can too, and I'd like to keep using the existing group that I already have. (Which most often happens to be adm on most of my systems, so the former hardcoded value did not affect me. :P) Mind you, if the journal is changed to use a GID rather than a symbolic name, and make the gid configurable - that would be perfectly good for me too. -- |8] _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
