With reference to the question about usb scanners and permissions (credit
to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner)
Gentoo does not have an automatic way of setting up scanner permissions -
maybe this should be moved to the official docs??:
# /etc/init.d/usbscanner
#!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need modules
after coldplug
}
scan_proc() {
# vendor=04b8
vendor=0x04a9
product=0x2208
group=scanner
line=`sane-find-scanner -q | grep -i ${vendor} | grep -i ${product}`
line=`echo ${line} | sed -r 's/:/\n/'| sed -r 's/:/\n/'| sed 1d `
bus=`echo ${line} | sed 's/\ /\n/' | sed 2d `
device=`echo ${line} | sed 's/\ /\n/' | sed 1d `
cd /proc/bus/usb/$bus
}
start() {
scan_proc
if [ ! "${bus}" = "" ]; then
ebegin "Setting User-Rights for USB-Scanner at bus ${bus}, device
${device}"
chown root:${group} ${device}
chmod g+w ${device}
else
ebegin "USB-Scanner not connected"
fi
eend $?
}
stop() {
scan_proc
if [ ! "${bus}" = "" ]; then
ebegin "Setting USB-Scanner Rights back to default"
chown root:root ${device}
chmod g-w ${device}
else
ebegin "USB-Scanner is not connected - stopping service"
fi
eend $?
}
restart() {
svc_stop
svc_start
}
