The usbautocam script sets up automount and hotplug and so on in /etc, starts and stops the automount script and suchlike. For these actions it needs to have root powers. To be clear though, the usbautocam script is only run once to set up the device. After that you should be able to plug the device in while logged in as a normal user without needing to touch usbautocam again. If that's not working, email me offlist with the errors and we'll see what we can see. > P.S. I'm running FC2 with kernel-2.6.7-1.501.i586, on a VIA Eden Box. Those little VIA boards are very nice. They should be a lot cheaper though. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBDocgjKeDCxMJCTIRAhndAJ9T4EzlLHQbsCpdk0qq/1xG+nq2ygCeLOsF QkO+x1wdLZFKowtKP931BQk= =053D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
