[sane-devel] (Solved) problems with ownership of scanner device file

[Mark Plowman]

Dear All,

I have had SANE running my Relisys Scorpio 3 scanner nicely for a few
months now via the net interface, but was being surprised that
*something* kept mucking up the ownership of the device file
'/dev/sg6'.

It (eventually) turned out that it was a 'PAM' modules at work, so,
for others, here is what I discovered and did:

The file:

  /etc/security/console.perms

"... determines the permissions that will be given to privileged
users of the console at login time, and the permissions to which to
revert when the users log out."

By commenting out the (two) lines which mention "scanner", peace was
restored...

Perhaps this will make someone else happy...


Greeting

Mark
