Somewhere on the 'net, I found an app called usb_perms. I can't remember
where I found it - it was likely off of the USB digital camera howto on
tldp.org (great site for learning things!).
Here is the init.d script that I wrote to control it at bootup:
--------------------/etc/init.d/usb_perms------------------------------
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
ebegin "Starting usb-perms"
/usr/local/sbin/usb_perms -d
eend $? "Failed to start usb-perms"
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping usb-perms"
kill $(cat /var/run/usb_perm.pid)
eend $? "Failed to stop usb-perms"
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stick this in /etc/init.d/, chmod +x it, then do an rc-update add usb_perms
default then start it up.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you _where_ I found usb_perms. I've got a copy of
the tarball lying around - give me a private email if you can't find it and
want it.
