If I am not mistaken, ConsoleKit uses ACLs to grant the currently |
| 7 |
active user access to various /dev nodes. E.g., with ConsoleKit you |
| 8 |
don't need to put users into "video", "audio" and "cdrom" groups |
| 9 |
anymore (corresponding to v4l, sound, and dvd/cdrom devices), so |
| 10 |
access permissions are more fine-grained and based on need. |
