I finally found a solution on an ubuntu forum, seems a bit dirty to but it works. 1. Add a groups usbfs and add the user to that group 2. Add the following line to fstab none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0 where 1001 is the gid of usbfs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
