  Hi,
 
  usbconfig will only show USB devices which the user has access to.
 
  What should be the correct display message when no devices are accessible
  due to innsufficient permissions?
 
  --HPS

 Hans,

 what about access denied or insufficient privileges?

 Someone might have a better idea but everything should be better than
 silently refusing to do anything.

 Volker

 Is this Ok:

 http://perforce.freebsd.org/chv.cgi?CH=155731

 --HPS

Eh? I still think that strerror or something along those lines would
be more helpful.

You could also do

if (getuid() != 0) {
errx(1, Cluebat -- you might not be able to read the usb devices
if you're not root);
}

or...

struct stat usb_s;

int fd = open(..., O_RDONLY /* blah, blah... */);

if (fd == -1) {
errx(1, Does the file -- %s -- exist?, file);
}

if (fstat(fd, usb_s) == -1) {
errx(1, Couldn't stat the file: %s, file);
}

if (!S_IRUSR(usb_s.st_mode)  !S_IRGRP(usb_s.st_mode) 
!S_IROTH(usb_s.st_mode)) {
errx(1, File not readable (do you have read permissions?));
}

/* Continue on merry way reading devices; maybe use strerror(3) for
more intuitive error messages? */

Thoughts?

Hi,

If errno != 0, I could print out the current value like a string.


 You could also do

 if (getuid() != 0) {
 errx(1, Cluebat -- you might not be able to read the usb devices
 if you're not root);
 }

Yes, but you are allowed to give non-root users access to USB aswell. So that 
would also be misleading.

Would something like counting the number of devices you don't have access to 
be Ok?

usbconfig
ugenX.Y
There are xxx USB devices not listed which require root access.


 or...

 struct stat usb_s;

 int fd = open(..., O_RDONLY /* blah, blah... */);

 if (fd == -1) {
 errx(1, Does the file -- %s -- exist?, file);
 }

 if (fstat(fd, usb_s) == -1) {
 errx(1, Couldn't stat the file: %s, file);
 }

 if (!S_IRUSR(usb_s.st_mode)  !S_IRGRP(usb_s.st_mode) 
 !S_IROTH(usb_s.st_mode)) {
 errx(1, File not readable (do you have read permissions?));
 }

 /* Continue on merry way reading devices; maybe use strerror(3) for
 more intuitive error messages? */

 Thoughts?

It has to fit into libusb20 ... That's all.

Hence that's why I provided another hacked solution. I hate `can't
run this app unless root' because it doesn't accurately solve the
problem, but it makes the issue more straightforward than `no devices'
:).
Personally I think using errno and strerror when trying to open /
read devices would be a lot cleaner. Let me see what I can quickly
grok from libusb(3) either tonight or tomorrow that might be an
improvement..

Exactly my point.  I can paper over this with devd, but that's really
not a good way to roll long term.

I don't understand. If you are lazy you do:

usbconfig -u xxx set_perm 777


how about using the standard devd stuff?
why invent a completely new way of doing things for USB?



That will give everyone access to all USB devices on the given controller -u 
xxx. Note: No -a argument.


Or:

usbconfig set_owner warner:wheel set_perm 660

All USB devices ever plugged on your machine will be accessible by you.

I think Rink Springer is working on something in this area.

 Hi,
 
 usbconfig will only show USB devices which the user has access to.
 
 What should be the correct display message when no devices are accessible due 
 to innsufficient permissions?
 
 --HPS
 

Hans,

what about access denied or insufficient privileges?

Someone might have a better idea but everything should be better than
silently refusing to do anything.

Why not just simplify the problem by printing out the strerror(3)
message for the actual issue -- or was that the misleading error
message?
Cheers,
