From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.1.12 Description of problem: Hotplug correctly sets the permissions of USB devices (ie: /proc/bus/usb/001/*) when I plug in my digital camera. Hotplug gives read and write permissions to the console owner. However, the same is not true for scanners. Since the USB scanner kernel module was dropped some time ago in favor of libusb, scanners should be handled like digital cameras. This is how I got my scanner to work right: I added the following two lines to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap (copied from /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap -- the map for old kernel modules): # Umax Astra 2200 scanner 0x0003 0x1606 0x0230 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 Then I copied /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam to /etc/hotplug/scanner and modified the script to reference scanners instead of cameras (actually a slight modification of the same script could probably be used in both cases). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hotplug-2004_03_11-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Plug in a USB scanner. Notice that the corresponding device in /proc/bus/usb does not have its permissions set so that the console-owning user has access. Additional info:
