Adam,

Thanks. As you can see from my last reply to Scott, updating the rules 
file has made it possible to get access to the remote as a normal user, 
so this problem was solved that way.

I suppose this patch is a rules-file itself, so I can take it, remove 
line numbering and save it as 70-acl.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d ? Done 
so already, so I hope my assumption is correct...

regards, Jogchum
