Two major choices are wheel/sudo; that's unlikely to unify
anytime soon, so let's make it build-time configurable.

don't forget about adm which we need in addition to wheel for journalctl to work

I don't see any references to adm in the source code at the moment, so this patch isn't regressing anything?

Also fwiw it's no longer "adm" apparently: 

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-March/009496.html

" * The journal files are now owned by a new group
          "systemd-journal", which exists specifically to allow access
          to the journal, and nothing else. Previously, we used the
          "adm" group for that, which however possibly covers more
          than just journal/log file access. "

yea no regressions. Feel free to push your patch.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-03-12 20:06:46 UTC
Oh from your link even:

  Note that "make install" will also set FS ACLs
  up for /var/log/journal to give "adm" and "wheel" read
  access to it

So that problem is fixed now anyway.
