In the old HAL days, it was reasonable to configure which devices
would and would not get ownership/ACLs applied at the system level,
as HAL contained system level customization (via FDIs) to set this.
As I look at the current code in udev, I don't see a good way to
override this. The only infrastructure is a 70-acl.rules file
that has:
...
# optical drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"
# sound devices
SUBSYSTEM=="sound", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"
...
# apply ACL for all locally logged in users
LABEL="acl_apply", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}=="?*",
# TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \
RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{ACTION} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"
...
The only way I can see to disable ACLs, for, say, a webcam, would
be to write a rule that runs *before* this rules file, that sets
last_rule. That's quite a hack.
Is there a better way to set this that I don't see?
