Hello, inspired by the thread "Want to could use /dev/ttyS0 as user" on the opensuse-factory maling list, I tried to figure out whether access to /dev/ttyS0 can be granted by HAL/resmgr (since this works fine with the alsa devices). According to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/90osvendor/80-resmgr.fdi, access to serial devices should be granted to "members" of the resmgr modem class (desktop users are not "member" of this class by default). But using 10.3, I cannot even find any serial device via HAL: jan@karl:~> hal-find-by-capability --capability serial jan@karl:~> Obviously, udev recognizes my /dev/ttyS0: jan@karl:~> udevinfo --query=all --name=/dev/ttyS0 P: /devices/platform/serial8250/tty/ttyS0 N: ttyS0 I do not need access to /dev/ttyS0, but I do want to learn more about HAL. :) Gruß Jan -- A fail-safe circuit will destroy all others. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
