I have just acquired an Epson 1660 Photo scanner and I am having real |
| 2 |
trouble setting the permissions. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a howto that explains clearly |
| 5 |
how you are supposed to get permissions sorted out using hotplug with |
| 6 |
more recent 2.6 kernels. There's something about a script in |
| 7 |
/etc/hotplug/usb, but nothing I can find that tells you what you are |
| 8 |
supposed to do with it. |

The scanner works fine when run as root. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The permssions of the usb device (/proc/usb/001/004 right at the moment) |
| 13 |
are |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
-rw-rw---- root:scanner |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
However, even though user robert is a member of group scanner, he can't |
| 18 |
get sane even to recognise the scanner. He can do it though if he chmods |
| 19 |
to root:users or root:audio or to most of the other groups he is a |
| 20 |
member of. On the other hand there are some other groups of which he is |
| 21 |
a member which don't seem to be able to access the scanner -- floppy and |
| 22 |
adm for instance. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? |

Many thanks |
