Yes, at least one other distribution mentioned a "video" group, so maybe that is a candidate for upstream :) > >> no dialout group? - this may be Debianish, but we rely on > >> it nvram in group kmem not nvram? >=20 > Hmmmm... no dialout and no nvram group here. > nvram really needs an exclusive group? We use uucp in lieu of dialout iirc. Ultimately though, this is easy enough to work around as long as distributions know what the upstream default is *and* that default doesn't change... Re nvram group, I don't see why it shouldn't be root or kmem - is there a legitimate reason why a normal user should have write access to /dev/nvram? -RW --Sig_/SHciXAoRI_9a4SlWQiiWp+p Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAklMr70ACgkQvGy9tf6lsvsNoQCeOfiDUtw+40sTCr3sYc6kpJJT or0AoKJaoXFtUKEak2oBEA+C9DnRnO3S =1Juj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/SHciXAoRI_9a4SlWQiiWp+p--
