Subject: /dev/kvm permissions
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 19:44:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46758112.4030604@ev-en.org> (raw)

Hello,

What do peoples do/think about the permissions for /dev/kvm?

I'm the maintainer for the Debian package and currently the package uses 
a group to control access, for no good reason really. I've seen that 
kqemu in Debian simply uses 0666 permissions and consider doing the same 
for kvm. I wanted to know what others do in other distributions and what 
others think the permissions should be.

Thanks,
Baruch

p.s. Please cc me as I'm not subscribed to kvm-devel. Thanks.
