Looks functionally good, just have a couple of concerns if you could check those out. 🙂 |

Sure! But I can't seem to find any comments? |

You should be able to see pending comments, can you not? |

Actually not, its also not marked as being reviewed. |

Weird to have an unresolved if branch that isn't inside the Unix conditional block? This should be bumped down to be part of if(getuid()) (and the closing brace should be outside of it too). Also consistent spacing.

Question: does this actually work if we do not have any compatible devices plugged in? I was under the assumption that users outside of dialout don't get any devices (and we've already pruned out any system ttySX virt terminals at this point).
It would be ideal to inform the user first that they should have an ideal working user environment - which is how the original implem worked, then move to available device checks. Perhaps move this block to above/below checking the length of our available devices list?
This moves the permission check to after the devices have been discovered. It then checks the real needed group for the first device and checks if user running the process is in the group.
