Re: xsane and root permissions

   User access

To grant another user access to use the scanner, create a 'scanner' group.

|# groupadd scanner |

Add user to the group scanner:

|# usermod -G scanner user_name |

Change group for a device:

|# chgrp scanner /dev/ugen* |

For some drivers, you also need access to the usb bus devices:

|# chgrp scanner /dev/usb* |

Also check if the permissions are sufficient, otherwise also do:

|# chmod g+rw /dev/usb* /dev/ugen* "|


I have tried a lot of different configuration withouts any result. As my scanner was unreachable, I have tried with 777 permissions (on /dev/ss0, it's a SCSI scanner). Same result.

Thus, I have tried with root privileges and it works as expected. I suppose xsane uses another device or file...
