At least FreeBSD, OS/2 and Irix implement sanei_scsi_find_devices(). But the patch is only necessary for operating systems that support automatic loading of kernel SCSi modules. I don't know if this is possible/common with anything but Linux. > BTW: What happens when the user does not have the correct permissions > for /dev/sg0 (or the device that is used to load modules)? In my opinion: Bad luck. He or she should set /dev/scanner to the correct device in this case. We can't catch every possible case. Keep in mind that sanei_scsi_find_devices is called for every "scsi" entry in the config files. Bye, Henning
