Package: lirc
Version: 0.7.1pre1-2
Severity: wishlist
when instaling the package for the first time, install process should create a
'lirc' group, and when creating /etc/devfs/devices.d/lirc, put 'root.lirc'
instead of 'root.root'. Then a warning or an email should notive the admin that
to let users access lirc, he just have to edit /etc/group
I expect many ppl to do dirty tricks ... run client as root, put too permissive
rules on /dev/lirc ( such as 777 ), or many other non secure things.
greating group lirc with rigts 0660 on the device would help ppl not doing
nauty/unsecure things.

udev adds lirc nodes to the video group:
thoeris:/etc/udev/rules.d# grep lirc *
020_permissions.rules:KERNEL=="lirc[0-9]*", GROUP="video"
Hence, I think this bug report is now superfluous and I'm closing it.
