Hi all, I have an old SCSI scanner that I have to use root to scan with. I know that its a permissions problem, but I don't know what to do. Can someone give me a clue? BTW I'm using SuSE 10.1.

The easiest workaround is to access the scanner via the 'saned'. For this workaround choose in the YaST scanner config 'other' and 'scanning via network' and select the 'local host configuration' and read the help text.

Most likely it is /dev/sg0 # chmod ugo+rw /dev/sg0 -- MortenB, Oslo, Norway -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you log in via gdm/kdm (i.e. graphical login), resmgr is responsible for granting permissions and can be configured via /etc/resmgr.conf. Adding the device there will give the current user the access. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
