/dev/uinput presently bears the permissions 0600, and it is owned by
root. Has anyone ever thought about assigning ownership of /dev/uinput to
the user associated with the console? It seems it might be appropriate
for pam_console to transfer ownership in this way. I am interested in
injecting keyboard and mouse input from software with no other special
privileges. My logic is that a user with physical access to the keyboard
and mouse ought to be able to inject events through software.

Am I missing something? Could something like this be made the default?
SELinux could still restrict software at risk of being compromised.
