Hi -
we talked a while ago about your usbautocam Script (which is absolutely
great).
I have one question to this script.
Is it really only possible to run that script as root?
I made a user with standard rights and run the script but when I try to
add a stick I get a failure message.
And then if I plug the stick in or out nothing happens.
When I do this as root its working fine.
Is it possible to run the script as normal user or if not is it possible
to auto login as root?
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.

Hi Andy,

The problems is my scripts is not getting started, when I do this as root my script is getting started. I already tried to change the rights and the owner of the script and of the directories but nothing worked.
I tried to make a new user with root rights but, it didn’t work.
It would solve all my problems if I could auto login with root but this isn’t working either.
As root I never get to sdb i always stay at sda.
What else could I do?
Thank You.
