Re: Bug#965028: systemd: journalctl does not work for normal users at all



Control: reassign -1 user-setup
Control: retitle -1 add admin user to group systemd-journal

I'm going to reassign this bug report to user-setup which I think is the
debian-installer component responsible for setting up the initial group
memberships.

Whether such a change is suitable for a stable release is up to the
user-setup maintainers to decide.

Regards,
Michael
