Create a file called /etc/devfs/conf.d/scanner. It should have the
following line:
REGISTER ^scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/generic PERMISSIONS root.scanner 0660
The line above is triggered when devfs first sees the device, so those
perms won't happen automatically until you either reload the sg module
or reboot.
