RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Expected results:
the permissions should be 600, as per discussion in bug 1072324
Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2015-08-26 13:10:10 UTC 
Due to the systemd rebase we now have a newer systemd, which has assigned group "input" assigned to /dev/input/* and thus permission 0660.

This follows the systemd upstream behaviour and is the same on newer Fedora.
Comment 4 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-09-01 08:04:10 UTC 
As Harald mentioned this is expected behavior.

this is a change of behaviour within the scope of one major release of RHEL

I believe it deserves better explanation than "due to systemd", especially considering the fact that it had already been decided to set the permissions in some different way in the past - what has changed so that the previous decision is now wrong?

if nothing else, this has to be documented

It is.

https://access.redhat.com/articles/1611383

A new system group "input" has been introduced, and all input device nodes get this group assigned. This enables for system-level software to get access to input devices and complements what is already provided for "audio" and "video".
