Judicious use of > chmod g+s on directories under there is useful. I like the idea of not having to use sudo. I will try to change the permission on the appropriate directory.

Is this file supposed to be somewhere else to?

I am on FC4, how can I make sure that I have permission for the USB? I do not see any usrp or usrp.usremap in the /etc/hotplug/usb directory but I do see some for the USB camera that I connected. Can I get more information about the scrip that set the device permission mention in the UsrpInstall wiki? > There's lots of variation on usb device permissions depending on your > distribution.

Should be something like: > /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages I did install and will do it again making sure that there are absolutely no errors. Somehow I must have missed an error message about not being able to create the /usr/local/share/usrp directories. I will try it with setting write permission for the share directory.
