Question regarding legitimate loading of kernel modules during runtime

Hello development folks,

just to make sure I am not about to submit another breaking patch: Is there any legitimate reason why a non-privileged user shall load kernel modules on an IPFire machine during its runtime?

Personally, I am only aware of some connection tracking stuff, but these require a reboot, thus being out of scope. Unless I overlooked something else, I would like to file a patch turning dev.tty.ldisc_autoload to 0. :-)

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
