Is the "input group" even a universal thing across distros? I don't really use Linux so I'm generally afraid to make any such changes. (Also I don't use this project actively anymore.)
don't think you can setgid a program for multiple groups, correct?
Yeah, can't do that from the filesystem.

I'm not entirely sure about that, but for all of my systems (Debian), it is. I was mostly talking about adding the possibility of using more restricted permissions to the end of the installation docs for users who might desire that.
As for /dev/uinput
, I'm not sure how to proceed. Perhaps do what the article suggested? Right now the current group is root
. Perhaps I could sometime test things out and report how well it works or doesn't?
Although I see you've done an impressive job containing this program, I think it's possible to do even better, at least, on Linux. Instead of setuid root, perhaps setgid
input
for handling/dev/input/*
? As for/dev/uinput
, I'm not sure - this article adds a new group uinput as well as udev rules, but I don't think you can setgid a program for multiple groups, correct? I don't think assigning/dev/uinput
to groupinput
would be the best choice - isn't it for reading from input devices, and not writing?Any thoughts?
