          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 70665
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: /dev/uinput belongs to subsystem misc, not input
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: goeran at uddeborg.se
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

In /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules there is a rule that says

  SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="ts[0-9]*|uinput", MODE="0640"

Still, my /dev/uinput shows up with mode 0600.  After some confusion on my
part, I found this Gentoo thread:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-951834-start-0.html which explains that
uinput belongs to the subsystem "misc" rather than "input".  Testing the
udevadm command suggested in the thread, that is equally true on my Fedora
system, as expected.

>From what I can understand, this is a bug in the udev rules file.  And that
file belongs to the systemd package (systemd-208-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm), why I
guess this is the correct place to report.
