I seem to have solved my own problem. It turns out that the devices |
| 2 |
/dev/gpmctl and /dev/gpmdata don't have the correct permissions for |
| 3 |
non-privelidged users to access them. After doing a |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
chown root.input /dev/gpm* |
| 6 |
chmod g+rw /dev/gpmctl |
| 7 |
chmod g+r /dev/gpmdata |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
it all seemed to work. I also changed devfsd.conf to register those |
| 10 |
devices with those permissions as well. Any security people care to |
| 11 |
comment on if that is the correct way i should be doing access control |
| 12 |
(using the group and permissions given)? |
