I have never did this but since /sys is populated during bootup, |
22 |
anything you change by hand will not survive a reboot. I would think |
23 |
you would have to find out what creates the file and then get it to |
24 |
create it with the permissions you want. I'm not sure but could udev be |
25 |
doing this? |

I'm not sure about the security concerns but I do see why having a user |
28 |
being able to adjust the brightness would be a good idea. I wonder why |
29 |
it is set up the way it is? |
