<EM>&gt; &gt; Check out <A HREF="http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html">http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html</A> for a quick and

<EM>&gt; Hi,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this shows an admirable spirit, but the approach has an inherent race
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; condition. You cannot know whether the device nodes whose permissions you set
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are still the correct ones. The risk, however, is small.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Hotplug should somewhen in the future provide this functionality. At present
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; it has race conditions similar to those mentioned above.
</EM><BR>
<P>Ok, this is a point. For now, I will continue to use &quot;goot old usbfs&quot;,
<BR>
until SANE integration is usable, and then we will switch to a kernel
<BR>
module. Or we can support both interfaces, since the API layer in the
<BR>
scanning code is very small and exchangeable, even at run time.
<BR>
<P>Hotplugging sounds nifty. Perhaps I will get some spare time to have a
<BR>
look at it. In the meantime a &quot;permission fixer&quot; will have to do the
<BR>
job.
<BR>
<P>Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Yours sincerely
