Howdy list, I'm trying to get gphoto2 to connect to my digital camera as a NON root user. (it works fine when root, but that's a security risk) Under 4.x, all I had to do was make the appropriate USB devices group readable and writeable, then add users to the appropriate group (operator, usually). Under 5.x, I'm having more trouble. The /dev/usb* devices have the appropriate group permissions out of the box, but I apparently also need group write permission to the /dev/ugen* devices. Here are the ugen permissions when my camera is attached to the usb port: [11:40]jesse@trevarthan:[/etc]# ls -al /dev/ugen* crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 0 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0 crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 1 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0.1 crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 2 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0.2 The problem is that I'm unfamiliar with devfs, and I can't figure out how to get the ugen devices to appear with group writable permissions. Any help appreciated! Thanks. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O. Box 2605 // Cleveland, TN 37320-2605 423-559-LINK (v) 423-559-5145 (f) http://www.wingnet.net
