I am hesitant to add my user to the uucp group, as I am not sure whether that is the intended use of the group. I know there are some user/groups on Linux only intended for some software and not for real user accounts.
Your intuition is right. The uucp group is meant for use by the uucp system only. Adding normal users to that group is dangerous and could have unexpected side effects. 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 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
