How can I update permissions on a device file on an FC4 setup? I mean, I know I can use chmod, of course, but the problem is that for /dev special files, the changes are lost on reboot.

More specifically, I have a SCSI scanner, and I (obviously) want to access it as a regular user, but by default /dev/sg* can be read and written only by root. How do I change that? (And why don't devices like this automatically get user accessible?)

grep -n "sg" /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
The permissions are set there.
Right. I haven't quite got used to this new(ish) udev stuff... Seems to me now it must be the place for the setting I want, but the location you mention can't be correct for my system, as /etc/udev has no permissions.d.

Look to /etc/udev/rules.d
