dbus permissions problem

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg]

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for the information.

I monitored both the 'system' & 'user' busses and the calls only show up on the 'system' bus. Our user is using the system timezone.

Regards,
Greg

On a Linux/POSIX system, the “system timezone” doesn’t really mean very much. Every user, every process can operate in its own time zone.
You’ll notice one difference between the systemd journal and the older text-based syslog is that, in the former, all timestamps are recorded in UTC, not “local” time.
