UDEV can be used to manage permissions. I am using udev.rules (ubuntu hoary, udev-075, linux-2.6.14) (the kernel must be at least 2.6.10 or newer; use may vary by distribution) I also have /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner script that sets the group to 'scanner' The scanner is brought up with these permissions: -rw-rw---- 1 root scanner 57 2006-01-18 04:15 /proc/bus/usb/001/005 /etc/udev/udev.rules --- selected entries --- # permissions for USB scanner devices BUS="usb", KERNEL="scanner[0-15]", NAME="scanner%e", MODE="0660", GROUP="saned" # USB devices BUS="usb", KERNEL="scanner[0-15]", NAME="usb/%k" --end-- Some similar changes are possible for SCSI or Firewire. regards, Gerald
