Hi,
I'm normally testing my (usb) backend on the following systems with different
access methods (scanner module/libusb):
SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.17 (updated)
SuSE Linux 7.0, kernel 2.4.16 (updated)
SuSE Linux 6.4, kernel 2.2.20 (updated)
Caldera OpenLinux 3.1, kernel 2.4.2
While it's possible to mount usbdevfs with devmode=0666 (the number of the
beast ?:-) on all SuSE system, it fails with Caldera, i.e. permissions still
look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Oct 24 2002 /proc/bus/usb/001/001
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Oct 24 2002 /proc/bus/usb/001/002
after mount -av returns
...
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,devmode=0666)
Does someone else have the same problems (maybe with other distros) or knows
what's causing this? Or is this maybe just a bug in Caldera 3.1 ?
Thanks
Michael
