[opensuse-virtual] finally I got usbredirection, now spicy needs usb access for users
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.

That sounds like a better way than handing over root rights with setuid. I'll put that one in the spice-gtk package I made. Rob 2012/6/12 Manfred Hollstein <mhollstein@t-online.de>:
