I have finally gotten my Kodak DC290 to work on the usb port instead of a serial port. Only problem is it will only work as root. Anyone know how to make the silly thing work as normal user?

Thanks,

I did something like this to sync. with my visor over USB as a regular user:

  • created a group called usb
  • added the user to this group
  • added this line to /etc/devfsd.conf:
    Code:

    REGISTER        usb/tts/[01]     PERMISSIONS root.usb 660


This allows members of group usb to read and write to usb ports.
