Hi there, I am the co-maintainer of boinc-client [1]. boinc-client runs as a service, and both it and its working units run as 'boinc' user and they are confined by SELinux. Recently, I investigated to figure out why boinc-client, while running as a service, could not detect videocard for GPU calculus. In order to fix this problem I had to add Group=video to boinc-client systemd unit file. I have not yet pushed such change to boinc-client Fedora git, because I would like to ask you if this can cause a breach into boinc-client confinement. I mean, I am wondering if a process that can have access to videocard, could for example read what you are doing on your machine, the passwords you copy and paste, etc. What do you think about?
