I doubt you would be writing to a scanner (-: The perms look right, something else seems to be at work here. I am not a user of a scanner, was just making sure you checked the obvious. If you want to see if giving wrtie perms helps you do it just like you would any other file 'chmod a+w usbscanner'. The 'c' is one of the special types given to device nodes, it is not too important here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
