Fix Recommendation

Configure Ubuntu OS to set the appropriate group-ownership to the directories used by the systemd journal:

Add or modify the following lines in the "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf" file:

z /run/log/journal 2640 root systemd-journal - -
z /var/log/journal 2640 root systemd-journal - -

Restart the system for the changes to take effect.

Check Contents

Verify the /run/log/journal and /var/log/journal directories are group-owned by "systemd-journal" by using the following command:

$ sudo find /run/log/journal /var/log/journal -type d -exec stat -c "%n %G" {} \;
/run/log/journal systemd-journal
/var/log/journal systemd-journal
/var/log/journal/3b018e681c904487b11671b9c1987cce systemd-journal

If any output returned is not group-owned by "systemd-journal", this is a finding.
