Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry for omitting that information. I run as root for now as I would like to get some readings out of this before I try to get something delivered to regular users. > Hardware access requires root level for it to work properly.

On the hardware level I don't quite understand how USB loads drivers but it seems to me that the necessary drivers should be loaded at boot time in this case. > So either run your OWFS applications under the su program shell (which > is elevated but it may not cover everything.) or if that fails, try > the root user. > > Also set things up to log everything, and post it here. Is there a way to get more information in the logs from owfs? Does owfs have an own log or does it put its output in /var/log/messages? I can't find anything about it on the man page. Do you know whether there is more information about how to use these silfreed packages? I didn't even know quite which packages to install when I found them. I have tried installing from source before but I don't understand what to do after compiling to be able to get readings. I hoped the silfreed packages would solve that but I'm still stuck.
