<i> &gt;From: Terry Mackintosh &lt;<a href="mailto:terry@terrym.com">terry@terrym.com</a>&gt;</i><br>
...<br>
<i> &gt;OK, I'm listening, what is a better solution?</i><br>
...<br>
<i> &gt;I have a group called 'sys':</i><br>
<i> &gt;[root@home /etc]# grep sys group</i><br>
<i> &gt;sys::3:root,bin,adm</i><br>
<i> &gt;</i><br>
<i> &gt;Should I run the scanner as nobody.sys? Then I could remove the</i><br>
<i> &gt;permissions for the world from /dev/sga, as the group is sys.</i><br>
<p>
Groups are there so that you can partition users into different classes<br>
of authority and privilege. For example:<br>
<p>
o Create a new group called "scanner", and put yourself in it (along<br>
with any scanning buddies).<br>
<p>
o Create a new system user (i.e. passwd entry without any home<br>
directories, etc.) called "scanner", and put it in the scanner<br>
group as well.<br>
<p>
o Change the owner.group of your /dev/sga to "scanner.scanner",<br>
and the permissions to owner and group rw only.<br>
<p>
o Run saned as scanner.scanner..<br>
<p>
If you need more info on creating groups, etc., read your RedHat docs.<br>
If it's not in there, then they are not doing their jobs.<br>
