[sane-devel] Authorization , plug on plug off the usb

[Tamkang]

Hi,
  I have a question , if the device files located in /proc/bus/usb/001/002  permissions was  -rw-rw-rw  the scanner can be use by unprevilaged user , so can i just change the permission ? for permanently. 
  and also I read the README.Linux there is a question too about distribution that I don't understand exactly what it means, I quote " ... One Solution to set permissions on-the-fly are the Linux hot-plug tools that should come with any current distribution 
  ...
  ( in here current distribution means my OS rignt ? Redhat  (e.g: README.redhat.gz ) where is this file ?  because ... ) 
  ...
  Your distribution  should have set up the scripts to automatically change permissions correctly. Look for " libsane.usermap" and "libusbscanner" in /etc/hotplug/usb . Usually you must just add the users that are allowed to access the scanner to group "scanner". To make that change active, the user must login again. ( is it will ask the user to input Password again?) For more details , see your distribution's documentation e.g : for debian : README.debian.gz ( and if I use Redhat where can I found thouse documentation ? ) because I am not experience in Linux, and I need help. Thanks
