The problem with adjusting groups (yes, it works) is that you have to remember to do it on all machines and all users that may need that access.
With the current method (logind-udevd) the permissions are adjusted automatically for the user on the chair, any user, the instant he seats, adjusting the ACLs temporarily. The admin needs doing nothing.
I'm sorry, that is STILL inconsistent.
The login-udevd approach will still need the appropriate changes on each machine. The distributed form may be OK for you right now, on single user machines, but I can't see that it is going to be universally applicable in a more corporate, multi-seat context.
There are no multiseat machines in existence. :-P
I disagree. While a literal interpretation of https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat/ implies that the additional video cards and ports (perhaps USB) for mouse and keyboard CAN be physically in the same box, and googling around leads me to believe some people have done just that, there is nothing to exclude it being a networked connection, says from a X-terminal. Or something like this which implements the guts of an X-terminal of old, just add the mouse/keyboard/screen. It uses a USB 'net' rather than Ethernet. https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DC-125-Docking-Station-Multiseat/dp/B004PXPPNA/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1335904746&sr=8-10 Or a later model, which also has Ethernet https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Universal-DisplayLink-1920x1080-High-Speed/dp/B002PONXAI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335904746&sr=8-3 Review at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=plugable_multiseat_kick
Remote login is not a seat, in this context. Only the seat directly at the computer matters, it is the only one with access to the hardware.
And how is that 'thin client' not 'remote'? The USB might not allow 'in the next country', but it will allow 'at other desks in the classroom'. heck, if you machine can support a few VMs or a dozen Docker jobs then it can support a dozen or more of these 'thin clients'.
There is nothing that needs to be configured in this context. The files as shipped by the distribution work. Unless they break.
Indeed. That's the point that's made about this 'pluggable'. its 'plug and play'.
Anyway... if there were multiseats, well, each one would get the ACLs. You an set as many as you want on a single device. Which is also a problem.
Perhaps not 'as many as you want'. Perhaps not a whole building full. After all, the USB limit is 127. But wait! More than one USB port, right? And I'd really like to see an internet based one rather than a USB based one. Perhaps I should Go Google some more :-)
After all, you do not have a multiseat machine, nor me. No one has.
I have a few spare graphics cards and spare USB ports. I might try it sometime as an alternative to 'dual screen'. As for the 'no-one has', well obviously Phoronix had one. And I'm sure other people have deployed that device or done something similar.
