On a modern Linux system you should instead be able to tag those devices as user-accessible, as is done for the analogous nodes in the open-source video drivers in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-uaccess.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card*|renderD*", TAG+="uaccess" which results in the logged-in users (according to systemd-logind) getting device access via ACLs: % getfacl /dev/dri/card0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/dri/card0 # owner: root # group: video user::rw- user:smcv:rw- # <-- this group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- See e.g. http://enotty.pipebreaker.pl/2012/05/23/linux-automatic-user-acl-management/ S _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
