Not that complicated either. Create e.g. /etc/hotplug/usb/foo.usermap containing all the devices that you want to be able to chmod. Use "foo" as module name. Add a script "foo" to /etc/hotplug/usb like this one: #!/bin/sh if test "$ACTION" = "add" ; then chmod a+rw $DEVICE # chgrp scanner $DEVICE # chmod g+rw $DEVICE # ... fi Bye, Henning
