Brltty's development code, i.e. the master branch, now contains support for brltty running as an unprivileged user. If you still start it as root then all you need to do is to create a correctly-configured brltty user. The top-level directory of the source tree contains a script named brltty-mkuser that makes this easy to do. Just run it with its -N (uppercase) option. Its -h option, as usual, lists all of its options. This script also gets installed.
If you're curious about all of the details, then you might want to read: http://brltty.app/doc/Linux.html I'd actually appreciate it if people would read through it so that they can tell me if anything is unclear, if there are any questions that it doesn't yet answer, etc. By the way: If you don't create the brltty user then brltty will just continue running as root like it always has. In other words, creating the brltty user isn't at all necessary. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
