This is preventing regular users to use the scanner locally. They have to execute xsane with root parmissions which is not desirable. I can do the testing since I have the device required. Isn't the device created by udev? If so then i think this is rather a udev problem than a xsane problem and we should change the component. Thanks & regards, Phil (In reply to comment #2) > Isn't the device created by udev?

Feel free to change it if you think udev is the correct one. Adding Harald Hoyer (udev maintainer) to the bug so he can comment on it before we possibly switch the component. Thanks & regards, Phil I think the vendor/device ids are missing in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules $ rpm -qf /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules sane-backends-1.0.18-5.el5 You could quickfix it by duplicating an entry with the correct ids. For that we'd need the details for that scanner though, putting in NEEDINFO Thanks & regards, Phil What info do you need and where/how to find it? What should be inside /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules ? The file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules can be found in the sane-backends package. The format looks like this: # Brother FAX-2900 SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0117", SYMLINK+="scanner-%k" So we basically need the SYSFS vendor ID and the SYSFS product ID. I just checked and the Brother MFC-290C doesn't seem to be in there yet. So i've moved this bug to the sane-backends component as the change needs to go in there. Thanks & regards, Phil Created attachment 344586 [details]
patch for /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
The above patch works for me. I'm able to start xsane as normal user.
Thanks Alexander! Patch looks good, granting Devel ACK. Regards, Phil Hm. As sane-backends is not an approved component and the deadline for FT erratas for RHEL-5.4 has run out i'll be reflagging it to RHEL-5.5 FT so that we won't forget about it for 5.5. Thanks & regards, Phil PS: And yes, imo the change is small and simple enough to make this a viable FT errata.
