Description of problem: Firewire cameras are not assign a proper ACL when you connect them as the corresponding udev rules are missing. This used to work nicely with Fedora 11, although HAL was used for that purpose there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-145-14 How reproducible: Connect a firewire camera and try to access /dev/fwX Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect firewire IIDC camera 2. getfacl /dev/fwX 3. Actual results: no ACL is set for /dev/fwX, access rights are 660 root:video Expected results: Currently logged in users should be added to a ACL with rw permissions Additional info: This is a regression from Fedora 11, where the ACLs were properly set. During the transition from HAL to udev, the corresponding HAL functionality was removed from Fedora 12, while udev-145 does not support setting ACLs on firewire devices. The functionality has been added upstream in udev-150. Relevant changes to /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules are: # IIDC devices: industrial cameras and some webcams SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x00010*", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1" # AV/C devices: camcorders, set-top boxes, TV sets, audio devices, and more SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1" # old style firewire devices KERNEL=="dv1394-[0-9]*", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1" KERNEL=="video1394-[0-9]*", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"
