Type: note

|
Description: Check that /dev/raw1394 permissions are appropriate for you.
|
||
|
|
The device file /dev/raw1394 will be created for libraw1394. This library is
|
||
|
|
used by applications to access FireWire devices.
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
The default access permissions allows only users in the "disk" group. This
|
||
|
|
restrictive setting was chosen since raw1394 allows almost full access to the
|
||
|
|
FireWire bus and all connected devices are accessible, which may include hard
|
||
|
|
disks.
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
If you don't intend to connect sensitive devices and e.g. only want to get
|
||
|
|
video streams out of a camera, you can relax the permissions. If you don't
|
||
|
|
have malicious users on your system, you can allow access for all users with
|
||
|
|
this command (executed as the root user):
|
||
|
|
chmod 666 /dev/raw1394
