NAME

   usbguard-daemon.conf -- USBGuard daemon configuration file

DESCRIPTION

   The usbguard-daemon.conf file is loaded by the USBGuard daemon after it
   parses its command-line  options  and  is  used  to  configure  runtime
   parameters    of    the   daemon.    The   default   search   path   is
   /etc/usbguard/usbguard-daemon.conf.  It may be overridden using the  -c
   command-line option, see usbguard-daemon(8) for further details.

OPTIONS

   RuleFile=<path>
          The  USBGuard  daemon will use this file to load the policy rule
          set from it  and  to  write  new  rules  received  via  the  IPC
          interface.

   IPCAllowedUsers=<username> [<username> ...]
          A  space delimited list of usernames that the daemon will accept
          IPC connections from.

   IPCAllowedGroups=<groupname> [<groupname> ...]
          A space delimited list of groupnames that the daemon will accept
          IPC connections from.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

   The  daemon  provides  the USBGuard public IPC interface.  Depending on
   your distribution defaults, the access to this interface is limited  to
   a  certain  group  or  a  specific  user  only.   Please set either the
   IPCAllowedUsers or IPCAllowedGroups options to limit access to the  IPC
   interface.   Do  not leave the ACL unconfigured as that will expose the
   IPC interface to all local users and will allow them to manipulate  the
   authorization state of USB devices and modify the USBGuard policy.

BUGS

   If  you  find  a  bug  in  this  software or if you'd like to request a
   feature   to   be   implemented,    please    file    a    ticket    at
