Hi Michael, Now there is no need for this anymore. Actually the /dev/device, between other functions, were capable of provide a unique ID used by a specialized application to uniquely identify the device. However, applications need to have read permission in order to query /dev/device. Someone here found better to remove read permission for others than root on this device and this action broke the application. Our first idea was to export this harmless unique id through a file elsewhere (/sys or now, /proc) however, in the discussing and tests we are almost proving that rollback /dev/device read permission is security, effective and enough.
