well, i am new here and i am not yet sure why the author wanted access to that file in any case,
i am trying to determine that also. today, i can work around this by doing a
chmod after the unit is plugged in, but that is hokey too...

thx for your time to reply, jackc...

hi folks,

i just installed fc6, i got most stuff working, but am having a problem
with a local tool. i have a usb widget that i plug into the usb port and its
recognized and mounted.
however!! during this process, early in the setup, a file is created in
/proc/bus/usb/00x/00y with permissions of 644.

i want these files created with 666 just for the devil of it... ;-)
i have been reading the udev controls, but that says its for
controlling what is in /dev, not what is in /proc/bus/usb/..

i am betting a nickel that someone on this list knows the way to control
this file creation.

if you have any clues, pls share, tia, jackc...

I have not idea why you would want those file to be 666, but in any
case I do not think it is possible. If you are trying to control
access to your device, then you are probably going to be better off
controlling the permissions of the entry in the /sys file system for
your device.
