[Bug 312957] Re: CWiid Version 0.6.00 unable to open uinput

Tue Mar 31 05:44:46 UTC 2009

You're right, that was undiplomatically stated.  uinput insertion SHOULD
require root privs.  Fundamentally, this is insecure and automatically
adding users to groups and so on doesn't change this.  Short of finding
a way to remove uinput requirements, there's no way to secure this app.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cwiid/+bug/140890 contains
more discussion from core developers on the subject.  I have no idea how
to triage this in light of this situation.
