Surely, you jest! ;-)
That brings up a question about devices, though.
My scanner is a Umax 1200S SCSI machine that appears at /dev/sg0. This
device comes equipped with permissions set to (I believe) 644 following
a boot. This means that I must either don my root cape or change the
permissions to 666 to use xsane. I would really like to know the
*proper* way to set the permissions for that device. I stuck a line in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local that reads "chmod 666 /dev/sg* &" but I would bet
there's a correct way to do it.
I don't know that it may be proper but you can change the permissions in:
/etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
Look for sg in scsi area.
