Subject: Re: Bug#286040: please allow permissions.d to follow symlinks
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 14:36:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e796392204121706367dd1a762@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20041217083115.GA4050@wonderland.linux.it>
Just look in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
# optical devices
sr*:root:cdrom:660
scd*:root:cdrom:660
pcd*:root:cdrom:0660
cdrom*:root:cdrom:0660
dvd:root:cdrom:0660
rdvd:root:cdrom:0660
cdroms/*:root:cdrom:0660
for example all of these point to symlinks and do nothing currently,
so we should
a) make them do something
b) remove them
There are sure more of them, but this is the most common example.
pam hided these problems, because it changes the permissions when a
user logs in.
I made a patch to solve this with a GROUP="" statement, whcih is now
used in gentoos udev. But I think its ugly design, because permissions
should be kept in permissions.d and not in rules.d, and you can even
have more advanced rules then, making the group cdrw based on if a
symlink to that exists.
