hi
Boy do I feel stupid. I don't have to create a new group or do any of
that other stuff I talked about. Brltty already provides a group called
brlapi I can work with. This simplifies things enormously. I'll just
change the permissions on the file during the last stage of the build
process, make sure the default user gets added to brlapi, and when
installed the created user does as well and things should more or less work.
Thanks

would simplifying it to "braille" work? That way anyone with access to the
braille group could use braille, but anyone who wasn't couldn't.
You can name the group anything you'd like to. I fact, you can use any security
paradigm you'd like to (including open). I was only making suggestions.
I'm finally beginning to understand why security is so tight.
Think of it this way. The braille display is the blind user's screen. You
wouldn't trust a system very much if any other user on the system could change
your current screen content. You very rightly expect your screen to contain
only the output from the command you're currently running, and you very rightly
expect the system to enforce this.
