From 9cd1b46a138dbdd6c3fad2e23f88e34740b3a054 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "kay.sievers@vrfy.org" Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 20:51:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] $local user We once implemented the devfsd feature to set the owner of a device node to the "local" user. This was before we had the dev.d/ scripts. We discussed a similar issue with D-BUS recently and this should be better handled depending on the distributions way to do such a thing. I'm for removing this here as this can be easily covered by a dev.d/ script. Here is the patch if nobody objects :) --- udev.8.in | 11 ----------- 1 file changed, 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'udev.8.in') diff --git a/udev.8.in b/udev.8.in index c842e7befb..a7f0bf0392 100644 --- a/udev.8.in +++ b/udev.8.in @@ -335,17 +335,6 @@ video*:root:video:0660 dsp1:::0666 .fi .P -The value -.I $local -can be used instead of a specific username.
