Karl:
(1) You were right -- the permission was "crw-------" but the owner was
user. When I change the permission to "crw-rw-rw" and set owner to
"user.user" and logoff and logon again the values revert to "cwr-------"
and "user.root". RH does something or maybe Gnome. I tried with
another user account and observed the same behavior.
(2) After setting to "crw-rw-rw" and "user.user" and running xsane as
before, the debug scan.log file now doesn't have the line "Send buf,
Size=2" but ends with the line "[epson] attach failed: Access to
resource has been denied"
(3) There were no messages printed to the console
(4) I don't have another USB cable but I have a Win98 machine that did
work with the scanner. I will check out that this is still the case. I
plan to install RH 7.3 on that machine and I will run the experiments
using it.
(5) I am currently running on a Compaq Presario 5000 with a USB keyboard.
Thank you for your efforts and suggestions. Any further thoughts will
be greatly appreciated.
