I assume it is in the video group so that it can access device nodes in /dev? It might be a nice idea to give it its own primary group id, This ensures that files it creates will not be automatically exposed to any other random users that are members of the "video" grooup. You can add it to as many supplementary groups as you need. > I need you to create a acct-group/uucp as it is not in the tree yet. Please note that recent versions of udev/systemd use the "dialout" group for serial devices instead of the old "uucp" group. You might want to just switch over to that.
