i'd like to change the nvram device permissions rule in udev.rules we provide.
at the moment the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules is the following:
KERNEL=="nvram", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK+="%k"
what leads to
[damir@Apollon dev]$ ls -la /dev/misc/nvram crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 144 2007-08-17 18:40 /dev/misc/nvram being not accessible otherwise than root.
and i want to change it to
KERNEL=="nvram", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK+="%k" MODE="0666"
Whats wrong with creating your own custom rules? There is no universal setup appropriate for all users. I think the default setting is OK for most users: NVRAM can also store bios passwords. Adding a new group would mean ".pacnew merging" again for a group most of us don't need. Jürgen
