Re: sound & scanner permissions



I'd like that every person who log in the *primary* console of the
workstation get the ability to play sound(/dev/dsp) and to use the
scanner(libusb).

Other than adding the person in the /etc/group (more than 100 people)

*primary* console is: the person which is actualy behind the screen of
this workstation and not a person connecting itself with ssh...

for users to play do "chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
and for scanner I do chmod a+rw /proc/bus/usb/00x/00x

Im running 2.4 kernel and Sid

isn'it some of this magic stuff thant can be done with the login manager ? Like changing the owner of the devices to that person when he log in and put the stuff back when he log out ?
