Although I have read the specs for hal/policykit I don't understand how the authorisations are actually done. Although the quick hack that I posted does seem to work for me I am not sure exactly how it is achieved. I do not see the group/owner on the endpoints for the usb device change. If you have any pointers to further reading on the inter-actions between hal and policykit they would be gratefully received. There is probably a better way to do this. Further reading today indicated that this should have been placed in /etc/hal directory structure. I do have an rpm for openocd and it would be nice to have it install the correct permissions in the right place.
