Subject: Why is greetd greeter user in so many groups?
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2022 04:33:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220621043327.21e0d15b@aria> (raw)
Hooray, greetd has been merged! [1]
However, according to upstream the greeter user only needs to be in
the video and greeter groups. [2]
Whereas the guix definition for the greeter user has many more groups:
(define %greetd-accounts
(list (user-account
(name "greeter")
(group "wheel")
(supplementary-groups '("users" "tty" "input" "video"
"audio"))
(system? #t))))
I can understand the need for tty and input, but why does the
greeter user need the wheel and audio?
