[sane-devel] /proc/bus/usb/001/002 , write permission changes required, is that normal behaviour?

[m. allan noah]

how are you going to send commands to the scanner, if you cant write to

look at hotplug, it can be configured to set the permissions however you 
want. oh and you might want to let root and group still write to it...
