[systemd-devel] Seeing logging as user

[Cecil Westerhof]

I have to give a presentation about systemd/journald. One of the things 
I want to show is that you do not need an administrator to see the log 
messages that are generated by you.

I did:
- makedir /var/log/journal
- systemctl kill -s SIGUSR1 systemd-journald

As user cecil I did:
     printf "Create an error\n" | logger

When I as root do:
     journalctl _UID=<uid>

I see:
     Nov 27 23:26:38 Equus.Decebal.nl cecil[25091]: Create an error

But when I do the same as cecil, I see nothing. What is going wrong here?
