#8 Re: Giving power to the user in front of the screen Posted by mcortese (213.70.xx.xx) on Fri 24 Nov 2006 at 18:47 I think Jean-Christophe Dubacq put it right (quoted from bug #377689): this is because dbus is a system-wide daemon and has no access to "the user in the session" (due to its asynchronous nature, it is not inheriting anything from the process that issues the request) I still have to understand if dbus is sensible to changes in the /etc/group file occurred after it was started. If so, a workaround would be to add the current user to the plugdev group not only via pam_group, but also via an explicit # adduser $WHOEVER plugdev at login and then remove it at logout. As soon as I re-gain access to my Debian box, I'll try some experiments.
