Hi,
still cannot seem to get usb device working as an ordinary user between
multiple reboots, without doing /etc/rc.d/devfs start as root every time.
did the following things described under 4.3.3. from
http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html
added this to devfs.rules:
[usb_devices=10]
add path 'da*s*' mode 0666 group usb
add path 'ugen*' mode 0666 group usb
added this to rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="usb_devices"
removed this from devfs.conf:
own /dev/fd0 root:operator
perm /dev/fd0 0666
then, I restarted my rc.conf:
/etc/rc.d/devfs start
now, it is possible to mount the device as described, however only
during this login. If I reboot, I have to do devfs start again as root.
anybody knows how to retain these settings between multiple reboots?
TIA,
Bram
An 'ls -l /dev/da*' and 'ls -l /dev/u*' just after reboot might be
helpful to see if /some/ of the permissions are being set on boot. Next,
double check your devfs.conf - in your email you said you removed
permissions related to the floppy not the USB devices, maybe there's a
conflict. Also, after a reboot but before doing a devfs start, unplug
your USB device and then plug it back in - to see if devfs is working.
I tried to reproduce your problem with a USB flash drive, but I can't.
What kind of USB device are you using? Maybe it's a driver error.
HTH,
Micah
