Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to set the permissions for a USB card reader when it's plugged in? I've been Googling for hours and found nothing concrete so far although I'll keep looking. So far I have this situation: I plug in the card reader and device nodes are created (e.g. /dev/da0s1, /dev/da1s1 etc). I can mount this as root and if I manually set the permissions I can mount it as my user too. What I can't work out is how to change the permissions when I plug it in so I can just use the reader as my user. I've read the man pages for devfs, devfs.conf and devfs.rules. devfs.rules looks like what I need but I can't work out what I actually need to do or how to test a rule without rebooting. I'm using FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. -- Andy.
