    if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.hostname1.set-hostname" ||
         action.id == "org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezone") &&

networkd: allow networkd to set the timezone in timedated systemd-networkd runs as user "systemd-network" and thus is not privileged to set the timezone acquired from DHCP: systemd-networkd[4167]: test_eth42: Could not set timezone: Interactive authentication required. Similarly to commit e8c0de912, add a polkit rule to grant org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezone to the "systemd-network" system user. Move the polkit rules from src/hostname/ to src/network/ to avoid too many small distributed policy snippets (there might be more in the future), as it's easier to specify the privileges for a particular subject in this case. Add NetworkdClientTest.test_dhcp_timezone() test case to verify this (for all people except those in Pacific/Honolulu, there the test doesn't prove anything -- sorry ☺ ). 2016-11-22 08:05:18 +01:00			`// Allow systemd-networkd to set timezone and transient hostname`
