Recently, I came across an observation where it's not possible to specify the IPCAccessControlFiles using an
UIDinstead ofusername/groupname. For example:Expected results: user with ID of 1000 can list devices
Actual results:
ERROR: IPC access control: invalid name format: 1002That is because the
isValidName()function does not allow having 'digit-only' names. I haven't experimented with the patch, will leave it here for discussion.This was working in the past. Not sure if anyone is using it like this, so another possibility could be to leave it as it is and modify the documentation.
