so, that's yet another another request for more open permissions on USB devices plugged in to the laptop. last time this came up, i wrote: > we can add it, but clearly it would be best if deployments or even > local classrooms could add new device capabilities on their own. > because as soon as we say "great, we're done", someone will create > a new USB device that kids and teachers everywhere will want to use. > > i would greatly appreciate someone coming up with a scheme to allow > the end-user, or a deployment, to add devices on their own. > > perhaps the user should be given r/w permission for any USB device. > (yes, i understand there are big risks with that. feel free to > propose exceptions that would make this safe.) i would like to propose giving user-level read/write access to any USB device which isn't an auto-mounted filesystem. perhaps an easier rule would be, any non-storage USB device. can anyone think of reasons that this would be unacceptable? (i assume, but don't know, that this would not be hard to implement. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected]
