Yes, it is, kind of. Udev itself does not really care. Things in udev-extras do. Without PROCFS it might work too, I never tried, and it's definitely nothing people should do. Without ACLs you need to use groups for users, which you should never do on any multi-user system, because people can use all devices regardless of their actual session state. They can break your cdrom burning task from ssh sessions, and all sorts of other things. And and they could log into your box over ssh and can listen to your microphone, which could be not exactly what you want in some situations. :) Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
