[sane-devel] How do I scan as a normal user?

[Marc Shapiro]

So, do I need to change udev rules for this?  If so, how do I do that.  
I have never dealt with udev rules before.  I have both dev/bus/usb and 
proc/bus/usb on my system.  Which would I have to change, or would udev 
rulles adjust both of them?
