You can configure it by resmgr and /etc/resmgr.conf If you use the following command as root it will list the devices a user is allowed to access. resmgr -u <user> list e.g. # resmgr -u graham list r--- /dev/console rw-- /dev/adsp rw-- /dev/audio rw-- /dev/dsp rw-- /dev/mixer rw-- /dev/snd/controlC0 rw-- /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c rw-- /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p rw-- /dev/snd/pcmC0D1c rw-- /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p rw-- /dev/snd/seq rw-- /dev/snd/timer rw-- /dev/input/event2 rw-- /dev/hdd rw-- /dev/hdc rws- /dev/sr0 rw-- /dev/fd0 rw-- usb:vendor=0x04b8,product=0x0110 Have a look at the man page resmgr & resmgr.conf for further details on setting up your permissions. I have an Epson 1650 scanner connected via USB on SuSE 10.0. In /etc/resmgr.conf.d there is a file called 50-scanner.conf with the following entry add usb:vendor=0x04b8,product=0x0110 scanner The vendor & product relate to my Epson scanner.
