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 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. There is nothing that needs to be configured in this context. The files as shipped by the distribution work. Unless they break. 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. And anyway... I'm not the designer of the method, not even an expert. Ask somebody else. I only told you what is the current method at openSUSE, before it broke by the broken update. As far as I know it. You want to configure groups? It is not needed, once the update is patched and back to normal. If you do it, remember to undo later. After all, you do not have a multiseat machine, nor me. No one has. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
