I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve here. But here is my
=A40,02:
Create a group called 'usb'. Make every user that you want to be able to use
usb devices a member of this group. Next, add the following rules to your
active ruleset in /etc/devfs.rules:
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'msdosfs/*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'usb*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group usb
If you are using 8-BETA, use 'usb/*' instead of 'usb*'.
This gives the members of the usb group write acces to the relevant devices
for using USB drives, cameras, scanners etc. You might want to add other usb
device nodes (e.g. uhid) if you use those.
