Ah, we have something similar. hal and ConsoleKit upstream now offer dynamic ACL management on device nodes, which we are using. > Unfortunalely HAL may still not notice changed fdi files > during runtime of HAL, see > https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393#c28 > so that it is crucial to have the fdi file in place > before the system boots (i.e. before HAL starts) That should be working well with current hal (0.5.11RC2). It has an inotify watch on /usr/share/hal/fdi/ and /etc/hal/fdi and reloads the files if anything changes. -- Users not automatically added to "scanner" group: No scanning functions of HP multi-function in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195782 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
