I think the "right" way to handle this issue is to ensure that every process that needs to access the device be run under a user who is a member of the group owner of the usb device.

Nevertheless, I'd be interested in hearing another answer to this too, since I can't seem to get CUPS to run as the right user that has rw access to my USB printers (and end up manually setting o+rw on /dev/usb/lp* after every reboot and/or hot plug).

I have USB serial adapter which I plug into my redhat Rhel 4 system.  When

Where do I modify hotplug or the USB conf files so the USB serial port which
are plugged
in will have there permissions set to guo+rw?

Thanks
