Hi all,

Triggered by some of the discussions about libusb earlier today,
I experimented a bit with some hotplug scripts to automatically
set up permissions in /proc/bus/usb when a USB scanner is plugged in.

I put up the results in a mini-howto at:
http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~bertrik/scanperm/scanperm.html

This is basically nothing new, it does mostly the same what the
gphoto folks do to set up permissions for USB camera's, except now
for scanners.

Kind regards,
Bertrik Sikken
