Up to 11.0 you can tell resmgr to grant certain users access to specific devices instead, see http://forgeftp.novell.com/resmgr/web/#id2830544
I just read that someone with debian got access rigth to ttyUSB* by being member of the dialout group.
Now my user also is member of the dialout group and I wonder whether it would not make sense then to add the 'modem' class in the resource manager to that user as well?
What is the reason for this split of not having the user be part of the 'modem' class in the resource manager, but part of the dialout group?
Being member of the dialout group merely gives you permissions to trigger or stop dialin connections (via smpppd or isdnctrl) without any way to influence 'dangerous' parameters such as phone number. As member of the modem class in resmgr you will be able to issue arbitrary AT commands to serial modems or mobile phones though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
