Nable PPS for non-root user about ogre

[moverbeck-iis]

Hi zyxbac,
we discussed your wish internal and found a fast fix:
Could you check if the following procedure works for you?
Execute the following command as root user:

crontab –e

Add the following line:

@reboot chmod a+rw /dev/pps0

Best regards
Matthias

Better use a UDEV rule if possible.

[zyxbac]

I think ThyMYthOS is right, UDEV is better choice.

So what I did (and hope you will adopt for new goose images):

created new file /etc/udev/rules.d/pps.rules with the contents

KERNEL=="pps[0-9]*", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0666"

works great. :)

Thank you for the code. Yes, we will consider your proposal for next image.
Can we close the issue?

[zyxbac]

Personally I prefer closing the issue when a patch is committed or in this case, a new system image with any working fix is made available. At the end it depends how you like to manage this issue tracker.

[zyxbac]

Rethinking my suggested patch, it might be a cleaner solution adding a 'pps' group to the system and setting the rights 0660.
