I experience difficulties to access my PTP camera as non-root. The

access the camera as root, but not as a local user.
Using the gphoto manual
(http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html) I tried to make
hotplug and HAL set permissions, but it did not work. For hotplug I
created a usbcam.usermap and a usbcam script, but the script does not
get executed. After that I tried HAL, but it seems like there is no
policy file for gphoto.
I don't know how to proceed in this problem, may be someone else has an
idea? Who should be responsible for setting rights in general, hotplug
or HAL? Why isn't there a policy file for gphoto, when there is an
information file?
Add yourself to the camera and plugdev groups.
There is no group "camera" in my system. I added myself to the group
"plugdev", however, but it did not help.
My main question is where are the permissions set? They are not
hardcoded or set magically I guess, there must be a script that is
responsible for doing so.
Best,
Anton
