While this is technically correct, by policy, I would hesitate before applying this to Intrepid.
Too often, upstreams shirk the entire permissions problem by just telling distributions to "create another group and put users into it". It's neither a scalable nor even desirable solution, because it isn't a solution - it's just a workaround. Instead we should ask more fundamental questions. What is RDMA? What kind of user would need access to these device nodes? How will they use them? Are they connected to some kind of physical hardware attached to the machine, or a pluggable device that any user who inserts it at their seat would expect to be able to use? Do users ever use these devices directly, or do they run programs that access them by talking a special protocol? Do users even run these programs at all, or are they daemons that manage the device, and present a user-space interface of their own? If a device is present on the system, should any user be able to access it? Or is it a privilege only for certain users, or even the system adminstrator? -- Ubuntu is missing /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm group ownership udev rule https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
