Hi all,
I've finally managed to get usbredirection to work with kvm and spice using spicy.
Now I've found out that I can only do this while running spicy as root because it needs access to the devices in /dev/bus/usb/* on the client system.
What would be the smartest way to allow a user to run spicy ? Change the udev rules for the devices or run spicy setuid root ? or another option ?
I'm not sure if this counts as smart, but I have a file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-libusb.rules with the following content for exactly this purpose: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", GROUP="usb", MODE="0664" Every user belonging to group "usb" is then able to do with a USB device what he needs to do.
