OK, I'm listening, what is a better solution?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is the first time I have EVER had a scsi device, so I'm not real<br>
|
||
familiar with all the in's and out's, the card is an Adaptec 2940 uw, the<br>
|
||
scanner is an HP LaserJet 5p, w/ an uw scsi to scsiII adapter cable in the<br>
|
||
middle, if all that matters.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I have a group called 'sys':<br>
|
||
[root@home /etc]# grep sys group<br>
|
||
sys::3:root,bin,adm<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Should I run the scanner as nobody.sys? Then I could remove the<br>
|
||
permissions for the world from /dev/sga, as the group is sys.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Thanks<br>
|
||
