Thanks, but any solution requiring to run additional servers to solve this simple issue doesn't feel like the proper one. I think the idea that a user should be able to control _fully_ the devices which he attaches himself is not really supported well in Linux. The issue is not trivial to solve, because who should own a newly attached device if several users are logged in? (It should be the current user of the physical terminal to which the new device has been connected.) Is anyone aware of an emerging solution to this?
