[sane-devel] how to run xsane as normal user?

[Mertens Bram]

Hi,

I have configured xsane but I am at the moment unable to run it as
normal user.

I am using xsane-0.86-1.ximian.1 on RH7.3 (updated with Red Carpet).

I have read several messages in the archives and I suppose I have to
edit the permissions of /dev/sg*.

Is this all I have to change and which devices are needed exactly? I
have:
[root at localhost sane.d]# ls -l /dev/ | grep sg
