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.

'man console.perms'
and check
/etc/security/console.perms

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!
