success (Re: USB problem: /dev/ugen* dynamically auto-reconfigures to root:operator 644, so non-root user unable to access USB devices even if wanted)
I found easy way to ugen problem: in /etc/devfs.rules I added [local_ruleset=10] add path 'ugen*' mode 664 then in /etc/rc.conf devfs_system_ruleset=local_ruleset And this is it. Now user can acces camera (PowerShots50) with gtkam. The resolution was given by (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-September/009706.html) Jeff Walters*. *Based on man devfs it is impossible to resolve this issue. * * ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Poul-Henning, many thanks for you kind guidance to the wonderful world of devfs (which I never had to tweak in the past) ;-) On Mon, Oct 20, 2003 at 01:44:50PM +0200, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: I would probably just use a wildcard: permugen* 0666 The wildcard feature is really fine ! Thanks for pointing me into that direction. This makes the rules only apply to devices arriving in the future, you also need: devfs rule applyset to make them apply to currently available devices. Good hint ! Thanks ! Well and now things work like expected. I put these devfs commands now into /etc/rc.local. But since /etc/rc.local officially has gone, I think this is not the best place ... After a longer examination of /etc/devfs, /etc/rc.subr /etc/defaults/devfs.rules and /etc/defaults/rc.conf I got the clue, that I can put the statements into /etc/devfs.rules. Hint: here again we seem to be missing a manpage: devfs.rules(5). In /etc/rc.subr you see for example a reference to this manpage, but it doesn't exist.

You've added a completely new subsystem to FreeBSD, one that people have no choice but to deal with when they move from 4.x to 5.x since you made devfs mandatory. It is YOUR responsibility to document it. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
