Subject: udev: adding permission rules for mobile phones use with obexftp over
USB cable
Package: udev
Version: 0.100-2.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
I'd like to suggest addition of rules relating to permissions set on
USB devices when mobile phones are connected which honour the "WMC
Devices" (i.e. Wireless Mobile Communication devices) features.
AFAICT such phones obey OBEX over USB file transfers, synch, etc.
All these feature can be used through obexftp (or superlayers like
obexfs), using devices such as /dev/bus/usb/nnn/mmm, which are owned
by root in udev defaut setup.
I think that dialout may be a more appropriate group for such devices.
I thought that the following rule may fit :
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="dialout", \
ATTRS{configuration}=="WMC Device"
But I aked on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list
first.
It seems (quoting Greg KH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> bellow) that it may not be
a good bet.
So I'm just requesting a more specific rule fitting Sony Ericsson
K610i phones like mine :
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="dialout", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d046"
If someone sees a better way on doing this, I'd be happy to test it.
Thanks in advance.

I think that would be too generic, and odds are the {configuration} will
not always match too.
You are going to probably have to have a lot of different rules for all
of the different phones, sorry.
Blame the manufacturers for this mess.
good luck,
