Hi Henning,
KDE desktop =========== Further to my late posting as at foot of this email. New discovery, quite strange; 1) login as 'user' # chmod -c 777 /dev/sg1 mode of `/dev/sg1' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) I am allowed to change the permission even without issuing the command # su # password After logout and re-login to the same 'user' # ls -l /dev/sg1 crw------- 1 satimis root 21, 1 Apr 11 2002 /dev/sg1 permission cancelled I also tried inptting 'su' command with the same result 2) login as 'root' # chmod -c 777 /dev/sg1 mode of `/dev/sg1' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) logout and re-login as 'root' # ls -l /dev/sg1 crwxrwxrwx root 21, 1 Apr 11 2002 /dev/sg1 Permission was still there. Logout and re-login as 'user' Permission cancelled. I could not find out its cause B.Regards Stephen ############################## Henning Meier-Geinitz wrote: > - snip - The scanner has been turned before booting PC # sane-find-scanner # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS.
