Thanks for tackling this so quick!
Managed to reproduce the original issue - your patch fixes it for me as
well!
it improves the current situation significantly:
Reviewed-by: Stoiko Ivanov <s.iva...@proxmox.com>
Tested-by: Stoiko Ivanov <s.iva...@proxmox.com>
In general I think the permissions seems a sensible choice (Mapping.Use
on /mapping/hwrng ) (we used Sys.Console for the RNG before (and for
other similarly sensitive places, as very high privilege below root@pam
only)
as talked with Friedrich off-list - understanding how the negation affects
what is displayed and what not in the menues took us a bit too long.
I'll send a follow-up to unify pci and usb-device add-entry enabling with
the the one for the RNG (the backend seems to use the same for all 3)
