Hi,
this shows an admirable spirit, but the approach has an inherent race
condition. You cannot know whether the device nodes whose permissions you set
are still the correct ones. The risk, however, is small.
Hotplug should somewhen in the future provide this functionality. At present
it has race conditions similar to those mentioned above.
