First will allow anybody that has account on computer to use scanner, and
second only to those that belong to group "scanner". That group you can add
using YaST, and add all users that need access to scanner in that group.
I would create group "scanner" first and than go and install scanner.
Well, I was indeed able to get the devices created with whatever
group/permissions I wanted using the technique you describe above
(though it didn't work with usbscanner* -- I had to use the pattern
usbdev* to match the device names in /dev) but that *still* didn't give
normal users the ability to use the scanner. At this point I'm guessing
it's something to do with resmgr -- perhaps YaST didn't create some file
or another in resmgr's /etc conf files; I'll say it again: I'm not
enough of a systems administrator to really know what I'm doing with
this stuff. So I threw in the towel and turned on saned, allowing users
to invoke scanning commands via the network. It works, which is the
bottom line, I suppose, but it's discouraging that I wasn't able to get
things working without going around the barn this way.
Thanks to everyone for their valiant efforts to provide with me guidance.
Cheers,
