Interesting;
I'm on Debian Sid, running a 2.6.16-2.686 kernel;
I notice that for my regular $username that I log in with - in /etc/group that
$username is listed alongside these groups
*dialout
*cdrom
*floppy
*audio
*video
--and--
*plugdev*
I notice in /etc/group there's a hal entry;
hal:x:106:
Does anyone think that by adding the $username to that group as well, will help
here ?? Just curious ...and I do not have, nor use USB pen drives, otherwise
I'd test it myself -- thanks..
Regards
