Ahhh, XSane, UDEV and Device Node Permissions?
I have an Epson Perfection 1670 scanner. I'm using Slackware 11.0 with 2.6.16.9 kernel installed with udev enabled. XSane runs fine as root, but I can't seem to give normal users permission to use the scanner even if I add them to the group scanner. To verify that I editted my group and passwd files correctly, please look at them.
/etc/group Code:
scanner::93:1000,1001 Code:
bobby:x:1000:100:,,,:/home/bobby:/bin/bash |
Udev
You may have to make a UDEV rule for your scanner. An example of one I use for my UPS is:
KERNEL="hiddev*", NAME="usb/hiddev%n" (NOTE: Place this line in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules) This will create a rule for all hidden device entries, which may or may not be what type of device your scanner is. |
Thanks for the help. I actually got it working by just typing in my name rather than the number.
