It will need access to /dev/usb* My solution was to create a group called 'usb', adding my user-id as a member, and set that as the group of /dev/usb*, with permissions 0660: ------- /etc/devfs.rules excerpt ------- [myrules=3D10] add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'usb*' mode 0660 group usb add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group usb ------- /etc/devfs.rules excerpt ------- ------- /etc/rc.conf excerpt ------- # Set the default devfs ruleset. devfs_system_ruleset=3D"myrules" ------- /etc/rc.conf excerpt ------- Roland --=20 R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) --zYM0uCDKw75PZbzx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkowAmAACgkQEnfvsMMhpyXDswCghmYQlnEcHelHhp/6C/MVQpyO rtUAn2C94z4b5yQRhUEG34Jow1DX6ZQK =bN0N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --zYM0uCDKw75PZbzx--
