[Bug 6290] Re: use /dev/video1394, not /dev/raw1394

[Martin Pitt]

Dan,

right, I have no idea about firewire video editing, but I believe I have some idea about system security. A group 'raw1394' wouldn't change all that much, since it still leaves loopholes to get full root privileges. If you trust your computer, then people can already run kino etc. as root.

The real solution is to provide a proper interface by the kernel.
