Hi,

The systemd-timedated doesn't allow setting a tz-file under /usr/share/zoneinfo 
to be a symlink. Is it due to security reasons?


I am asking because our system mount /usr/share/zoneinfo as read-only and 
because of legacy we need to support the user being able to change the TZ 
string in a tz-file. Installing a symlink that point to such a tz-file will 
allow us to use the systemd-timedated interface to set time zone. The 
changeable tz-file (located at /etc/...) can be altered by root and a specific 
service. Do you see any potential risk by doing so?


Best Regards,

Christopher Wong
