But tightening dsp permissions to an audio group will be disruptive to many desktop users - they'll have to add themselves to the audio group manually. We would need a good reason to justify that. For me it boils down to the following questions: 1. Is there a technical / security reason that prevents permission 666 on umidi? 2. Are there significant security gains by tightening audio permissions in general? @HPS: What do you think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
