>Description:
For the ``sane'' application xscanimage to work correctly it requires
read/write access to the two devices:
/dev/xpt0
/dev/pass0
Call me paranoid but the idea of making a device (xpt) that allows the
normal user to:
XPT_RESET_BUS
the scsi buss scares the willies out of me.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try running xscanimage with/with-out access to /dev/xpt0.
When access is denied, the application fails to start.
>Fix:
Don't know.
