Well, I like your idea better than mine (though device_chmods="first
second etc" then chmod_first, chmod_second, chmod_etc would be better
names), but meant to ask - is there some reason that /etc/fbtab can't
be used for this? Possibly with some beefing up (/etc/defaults, for
instance)?
Of course, it needs to handle symlinks. I'd rather fix the symlink for
/dev/scanner than reconfigure sane when I add a new device. Possibly
device_links, or more work on fbtab?
