How to correctly solve permissions problems (PAM)

gralves

Hi,

How do I set permissions on my system so users on audio group can access audio devices and users on scanner group can access the scanner? Everthing was running fine until last emerge -auDv world (I should have payed more attention to etc-update).

Thanks,

Gustavo

In /etc/security/console.perms

Thanks. Is there a way I can "flush" the permissions without rebooting so I can test the system?

If you're running udev you can repopulate by running udevstart as root.

Sound seems to be working, but I still can't access the scanner. For the scanner I' m using libusb (not kernel modules) so it does not create any of the /dev/scanner dev's.

Here is what happens on a tipical attemp:

libsane had already installed that to me.

It works if I unplug the scanner and plug it again. The problem is that when I reboot the computer I have to disconnect the scanner and reconnect it for it to work.

It is at boot run-level. Should I change it to default?

edit:
Changed to default. Didn't work.
