Package: systemd Version: 215-17+deb8u2 Severity: normal Dear maintainers,
summary: Permission problem with files created below /var/log/journal, systemd-journal group cannot read. Details: On this Jessie system, as a user that's a member of the systemd-journal group, I run some `journalctl --system ...` command and get the error message `No journal files were found.`. This is not the behaviour I expect, as, according to the journalctl manual page, > ... users who are members of the "systemd-journal" > group get access to the system journal ... Doing the same command as root produces the expected output. This seems to be a permission problem regarding the files in /var/log/journal (which exists on my machine). Temporary workaround: As root, I navigate to /var/log/journal and execute chgrp systemd-journal */* Afterwards, the user can run `journalctl --system ...` and get the expected output. This workaround will not help in the long run, as new directories or files are created below /var/log/journal.
