Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. As you suspected, I was working to solve a larger problem. While I do appreciate the offer to feed me a fish, I would also like to know "how to fish". In this particular case, I find it somewhat amusing that determining the owner/group of a USB device is so mysterious. I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag by providing the solution on this list a few minutes ago! :) Since you are the "give a man a fish" type, here is what I ultimately needed to do to solve my problem: sed -i -e 's/SYSFS/ATTR/g' /etc/udev/rules.d/* Thank you again, Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
