A few of the devices (cd-burner, and scanner) on my box are only
supported through modules. I could have compiled them into the kernerl,
but they are rarely used. My problem is that when other users (logged
in) want to use the scanner, I have to shove them aside, su, modprobe
scanner/usb/scsi/cdrom/etc. Then they can mount the cdrom, or use the
scanner. The automouner only goes so far. Like for example if I have
the ide- scsi (scsi emulation) mod inserted, then mounting the cdrom
will automatically insert the cdrom module. same w/ scanner mod if usb
is already inserted.
For example the burner...
I have written a .mountcdr and .umountcdr scripts which automate
everything into one step. Then I made alias mountcdr="sh ~/.mountcdr"
The problem is that this script can only execute when I am root.
Anyone got any ideas on this? Change permisions on modeprobe and rmmod
(could be scary)? Fiddle with module dependancy file (i forget the name
of it)?
Thanks
