USB Scanner permissions reset each login.

| I have an Epson scanner that works great with Sane.
I see the device as CRW------- scanner0
I've gone in and changed the permissions to 660 so that other people,
logged in at the same time can share the scanner.
The problem is, every time I log back in, the permissions get set back
to C600, and the owner name changes to me.
How do I set the permissions, and get them to "stick"?
I'm running Fedora Core 1
Thanks!
Jon

| I believe you will need to place the command in one of the script files that
runs in the /ect directory at boot time this will cure your problem.

| Yes! Thank you! That's it.
I created a new group called "scanner" with only 3 users.
I then modified /etc/security/console.perms to set the permission to 660
(owner root; group scanner) and it works perfectly!
Thanks Tim!
