Add a warning :
- /dev/ttyS? : Permission denied, more information in
/usr/share/doc/<pkgname>-pkgversion>/README
In %description?
Why not.
The application should popup the warning _when_ the application (already installed) failed to access /dev/ttyS? . Something like : if ((fd = open("/dev/ttyS0", ...)) == EACCES) { msg_popup("/dev/ttyS0 : Permission denied, more information in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname>-<pkgversion>/README") ; }
With this, you are sure that the README will be read (if needed).
I was graphically login (kde) as normal user. I opened a filemanager as root to open the /etc/security/console.perms file.
Is /etc/security/console.perms still world readable ?
I made the change and save file. I logout. I try to login as normal user but it fails, X didn't want to start and here is the message I saw (sorry, in french) : " Un serveur X est déjà lancé sur le visuel :0. Est-ce que je dois essayer un autre visuel ? Si vous répondez non, j'essayerai de démarrer le szerveur sur :0 une nouvelle fois. (Vous pouvez afficher différentes consoles en utilisant Ctrl+Alt et une touche de fonction Fn, etc)" One time I said yes, other time I said no, but I had the same result, unable to start X. If I try to login as root, I succeed. Finally, I had to comment the permissions definitions I added and reboot. I had also to delete /tmp/.X?-lock.
I can't really help here. Sorry.
Get the original console.perms : rpm2cpio pam-...i386.rpm | cpio -iv -m -d ./etc/security/console.perms
Do a diff with your console.perms and check if there is sometime wrong.
