The ugen device is created when I plug my camera in. The above doesn't effect it (because I think it is only run at boot). I haven't rebooted my machine to test, but I shouldn't have to, right? I should just have to plug my camera in, which I did, and it didn't effect the ugen device. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

This works: devfs ruleset 10 devfs rule add path 'ugen*' mode 664 I had tried that before I posted to the list, but I think I forgot to quote my globbing. Does anyone know the appropriate place to put this so it will execute at system boot? /etc/rc.conf? Thanks. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

5.x usb gphoto
Howdy list, I'm trying to get gphoto2 to connect to my digital camera as a NON root user. (it works fine when root, but that's a security risk) Under 4.x, all I had to do was make the appropriate USB devices group readable and writeable, then add users to the appropriate group (operator, usually). Under 5.x, I'm having more trouble. The /dev/usb* devices have the appropriate group permissions out of the box, but I apparently also need group write permission to the /dev/ugen* devices. Here are the ugen permissions when my camera is attached to the usb port: [11:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[/etc]# ls -al /dev/ugen* crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 0 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0 crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 1 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0.1 crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 114, 2 Jun 13 09:07 /dev/ugen0.2 The problem is that I'm unfamiliar with devfs, and I can't figure out how to get the ugen devices to appear with group writable permissions.
