I forgot to mention: At least libraw1394 v2.0.1 is required to use such a device type based permissions scheme. (Current and stable is libraw1394 v2.0.2.) IIDC cameras which are typically accessed via libdc1394 can be used via this permission scheme independently of libraw1394; a libdc1394 v2 version is required. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= -=-= =-=-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
