What do I need to configure to get it to be some other group? Before going that road, try adding yourself to the root group and see if it works, because it might not. I remember investigating a similar problem in this list time ago, and in some special cases it wasn't a simple problem of device permissions, it is way deeper. Have a look here, for instance: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2005-03/msg01243.html http://en.opensuse.org/SDB%3AConfiguring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2#libusb_.2B_resmgr_.2B_PAM - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
