Product: pam
Component: pam
Summary: /etc/security/console.perms not setup for multi-user
access
Version: 0.75-30mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In multi-user setups where the users share the devices (like a USB removable device,
palm pilot, scanner, etc) the console.perms is setup to lock out other users when the
first user logs in. For example:
# old version
<console> 0660 <serial> 0660 root.tty
<console> 0660 <floppy> 0660 root.floppy
<console> 0660 <camera> 0660 root
#new version
<console> 0660 <serial> 0660 root.users
<console> 0770 <floppy> 0770 root.floppy
<console> 0660 <camera> 0660 root.usb
Notice that I changed root.tty to root.users so that any the user group can have
access
to the serial device. Also, notice I changed the USB to be accessible by anyone in
the
group "usb".
This change is critical in certain multi-user setups.
