Hi Roger, thanks for quick reply.
I would think that udev would be the way. You would beed a rule that would id the device and set the permissions accordingly.
How do I change my SuSE 9.3 setup to allow a user or a group to talk with this device?
Thanks, Göran

Yes, that probably pointed me in the right direction. But I probably don't understand it...
In /var/log/messages I get this line when I insert the device: Apr 6 19:12:31 ganymede kernel: hiddev96: USB HID v1.00 Device [Velleman USB K8055] on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1
I tried to add: KERNEL="hiddev96", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp", MODE="660"
at the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules without any success.
Is this the right way to do it?
First, I would make a new file in the rules.d directory instead of changing a supplied one. Something like 99-mystuff.rules. After editing this file, you must type (as root) 'rchal restart' for it to be used. Saves having to reboot. I think suse 9.3 had the lshal command. That lists all the devices and the various names they may have. These can be used in the rules. Also, there is a hidden directory in /dev called .usbdev, which also contains device names.
Do I need to give any command to rebuild any database after modifying this file?
rchal restart (I hope I got this right. There are number of coexisting systems that I have been known to mix up.) -- Roger
