Unless those remote users belong to the plugdev group. So for the existing configurations it should still work as before. For new users that have never added themselves to the plugdev group, it should work out of the box when they run a physical access session. For remote operation they'll just have to add themselves to plugdev as before. 664 -> 660 change makes sense either way, as having only read permissions for a USB device does nothing and looks odd. Please also keep in mind that numbering is important and that the rules need to appear numerically before the *seat*.rules files. Please correct me if I'm wrong. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
