I agree, but I also think it is better to lock an unknown device from user
rather than let him do bad things. This is why Linux is much more secure.
But each davantage has its dark side ;o)
As you said, the big problem is the udev mecanism, far too complicated, or,
at least, its lack of a user friendly interface... If you browse the
Guilde archive (a french linux users group ml), you will how many times I
asked for udev related problems!
