in the vbox user manual (section 2.2.2), we read:

"In order to use VirtualBox’s USB support, the user account under
which you intend to run VirtualBox must have read and write access to
the USB filesystem (usbfs)."

  ok, so, barring messing with "chown" and "chmod" commands (which i
*hate* doing for stuff like this), what is the proper way to grant a
non-root account r/w access to usbfs?  is this a udev feature?  is it
done automatically?  enquiring minds want to know.

p.s.  this isn't a critical issue since my USB mouse and keyboard are
clearly functional inside my VMs (fedora 9 alpha and opensuse 10.3) so
I'm assuming things are working just fine for now.  i'm just curious
what the above passage means in terms of getting at the usbfs.
