I took a quick look at the latest udev git sources, in preparation for the
future.  I looked at the rules under rules/rules.d.

The HAL way of doing things, as I understand it, is to grant the current
console user rw access to USB devices.  This could be done by chowning
the device to that user or adding him to an ACL.

But I don't see any of his handling in the new udev rules.  I see some
permissions being based on groups, but I don't see where the current
active console user is linked to permissions for a locally plugged in
device.

If group permissions are the future, that's great, I know how to code that
(thankfully!). :-)  But if not, I'm afraid I just don't see the link.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
