udev is assigning the GROUP value from a rule to the uid of a node. The fix is easier to understand than the long explanation of the bug: --- udev-061/udev_rules_parse.c.old 2005-07-07 12:51:27.000000000 +0900 +++ udev-061/udev_rules_parse.c 2005-07-07 12:51:37.000000000 +0900 @@ -391,21 +391,21 @@ if (strcasecmp(key, "GROUP") == 0) { valid = 1; if (rules->resolve_names && (!strchr(value, '$') && !strchr(value, '%'))) { char *endptr; strtoul(value, &endptr, 10); if (endptr[0] != '\0') { char group[32]; gid_t gid = lookup_group(value); dbg("replacing groupname='%s' by id=%i", value, gid); sprintf(group, "%li", gid); - add_rule_key(rule, &rule->owner, operation, group); + add_rule_key(rule, &rule->group, operation, group); continue; } } add_rule_key(rule, &rule->group, operation, value); continue; } if (strcasecmp(key, "MODE") == 0) { rule->mode = strtol(value, NULL, 8);
Problem confirmed, here. Audio devices are assigned to UID 18 (no passwd entry), group root, instead of user root, group audio (GID 18). Disks are set to shutdown(UID 6)/root, instead of root/disk(GID 6). Etc. I'll be trying the patch. Duncan
Masked 061 for now .. Greg, just do a 061-r1 with patch if that is fine, else 062 if you guys are going that route.
*** Bug 98256 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
(In reply to comment #1) Patch also confirmed to work. Duncan
Thanks for the patch, it looks good. Will add it to mainline and roll another version.
Fixed on 062 release.
