How to access usb ports as non-root user
hi
i am using linux fedora core 3. I want to access to usb ports as a non-root user.because i want to run a hardware circuit. i can run my hardware as a root but not as a non-root user. so i have changed the permissions of /proc/bus/usb to 777. then if i run my hardware as a non-root user it is working.But when i re-start the System whatever changes i did for /proc/bus/usb (777) will gon and they are resetted to original,so now i cannot run my hardware. so what shall i do to make changes of /proc/bus/usb to 777 permanently. or how can a non-root user can access usb ports Thanks in advance M.Harshavardhan Reddy |

Re: try this
HI,
Thanks for ur info. But still i am finding some problems 1.The default resource file /etc/usb_perms is not there in my /etc folder 2.i am using Hardware circuit not any specific device like scanner ,camera ,memorystick. my hardware has usb port and by using usb cable we will connect our hardware circuit to usb port of my Linux FC3 PC(Harddisk) Now i want all usb ports of my PC should be run under non-root user mode. even after installing libusb-0.1.10a ,usb-perms-0.1 into my PC i am unable to run my Hardware. so any changes i need to make Thank u Regards M.Harshavardhan Reddy |

Hi,
Finally I got solution for above my problem. 1.add ur user name in ur groups file.in the fallowing line wheel:x:10:root,urusername 2.change the sudoers file as below # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL # Same thing without a password %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL 4.after that add the fallowing command in ur users bash_profile sudo -H bash -login 5.now when u run the bash_profile u automatically becomes superuser . thats all. harsha |
