>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.
