*gnarf* most of the discussion has nothing to do with the original request
which is unrelated to security design, policykit etc in principle. It was
probably wrong to reveal my personal motivation for looking at this issue.
Yes you can construct all kinds of use cases where you desperately need to
change the system wide timezone. In those cases it may indeed be annoying that
cron.daily runs during lunch break instead of at midnight (but then it probably
does that anyways if you are thinking about a laptop).
Yet the question remains why glibc shouldn't take a users' personal timezone
file into consideration. As Federico already said with a central application
server a feature like that does make sense. I disagree about the claim that
this is an exotic configuration though. After all we even have such servers
internally (e.g. w***n).
PS: I called the patch 'PoC' on purpose, I'm fine with an ugly hack for
demonstration purposes :-)
