[BRLTTY] Using the Orbit Reader 20 with BRLTTY and Orca

[Nolan Darilek]

So this is odd. With the previously-mentioned lines in my config file, I 
saw the following in BRLTTY logs whenever I restarted Orca:


Jun 10 10:54:44 desktop brltty[4206]: no matching user or group

And yet:


$ groups
nolan wheel libvirt brlapi docker


So not sure what's going on there. I enabled local-only auth via a Unix 
socket, though, and now everything works fine. I'm not clear on why 
BRLTTY rejected a group membership check that appears correctly 
configured, but it seems to be a non-issue now.


Thanks for all the help.
