Hey Y'all,
I want to use modprobe ppa to load the module for my zip100, so I can mount it.
I can do this as root w/o any problems, but I want to give user permission to
run modprobe ppa. This way, I just put 2 icons on my desktop: click the one for
modprobe ppa, then click the zip icon to mount.
So, I go and give user permission to run modprobe, and it APPEARS to execute the
command. However, it doesn't work. I get the following message:
/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk/scsi/ppa.o: create_module: Operation not permitted
parport: Device or resource busy
Any ideas what this means and how to fix it? I am pretty sure it is a
permission problem. When I run modprobe ppa as root, I don't get this message,
but I get it every time I do it as user.
I 'know' that user has permission for the modprobe command because I used to get
the 'bash: command not found' message before changing the permissions. I've come
a step closer, but I'm not there yet!
Somehow I think I must be needing to do permissions elsewhere...but now I'm
clueless as to where.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Lance
