(local user = full permissions on all USB devices?) :P No. Look at the new input subsystem in 2.5. It should allow you to have different USB keyboards and mice assigned to different X displays, all attached to one machine. So if one user plugs in a digital camera into their keyboard's USB hub, who is the local user? All users of the machine? It gets pretty tricky :) thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
