D-Bus/PolicyKit seems very much overengineered and too complex for this issue, and it doesn't fit the model of RDMA very well anyway, since the whole point of RDMA is that unprivileged userspace applications use RDMA hardware directly without the overhead of a system call into the kernel, let alone a D-Bus method call to another process.
Anyway I don't think it makes sense to try and implement what you're talking about just for Ubuntu, so I suggest you close this bug as "won't fix" and I'll just point people at fixed packages in my PPA. -- Ubuntu is missing /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm group ownership udev rule https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256216 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
