Create a file called /etc/devfs/conf.d/scanner. It should have the following line: REGISTER ^scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/generic PERMISSIONS root.scanner 0660 The line above is triggered when devfs first sees the device, so those perms won't happen automatically until you either reload the sg module or reboot. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
