A few things. First about the rule. A single '=' means assign and a<br>

double compare. So the rule should be:<br>
<br>
KERNEL=="lirc0", NAME=="lirc0", GROUP="lirc", MODE="0660"<br>
<br>
in stead of<br>
<br>
KERNEL=="lirc0", NAME=="lirc0", GROUP="lirc", MODE=="0660"<br>
<br>
Since the mode isn't 0660 it compares false and fails.<br>
<br>
Have you double checked that the group for user lirc is indeed lirc?<br>
<br>
Try to set the owner too. Also if I check, I only see KERNEL and<br>
SUBSYSTEM and to be save change KERNEL to 'lirc*'. You can add a<br>
DRIVERS part (e.g. DRIVERS=="lirc_serial" or whatever your driver is.<br>
Check with: udevadm info --attribute-walk --name /dev/lirc0)<br>
<br>
KERNEL=="lirc*", SUBSYSTEM=="lirc", OWNER="lirc", GROUP="lirc", MODE="0660"<br>

Okay, I changed the rule to the last one above, and it worked well,<br>
changing the permissions and ownership of /dev/lirc0. The remote control<br>
only works when I set the MODE to 0666. I don't know who is trying to<br>
access the device! Maybe it is okay as 0666?<br>

On a sane lirc setup the only thing accessing /dev/lirc0 is the lircd<br>
daemon. The question is how this is run. Out of the top of my head I<br>
think the default configuration starts it as root:root, dropping it's<br>
privileges after opening devices and such.<br>
<br>
Have you modified the lircd.service setup e. g., by creating your own<br>
/etc/systemd/system/lircd.service? Or are you starting it by some other<br>
means? The default configuration is supposed top work out of the box w r<br>
t this.<br>
<br>
BTW, the distribution contains a similar rule as an example in the<br>
contrib/ directory. In the fedora package, this is /usr/share/lirc/contrib.<br>
