Since the issue of USB permissions keeps coming up on the lists, I am wondering if there is something we can do to improve the messages printed at the default debug level when starting a USB driver.
For instance, it shouldn't be too hard to mention which user was configured for non-privileged operations. A lot of people tend to assume that unless indicated otherwise, starting a program as root means that it will run as root, and therefore not run into any permission problems. I know a lot of messages get hidden by the startup scripts, but does anyone have any thoughts as to why we wouldn't want to start looking at this? For every person who emails the list with a problem, there will be several more who will just write the software off if they can't get it to work without some messages that explain things a little more. If nothing else, maybe we can have some URLs on networkupstools.org that will redirect to a wiki page or other relevant documentation. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
