You can check for that # by executing "echo `cat /var/{run,lock}/console.lock`" and # verifying the appropriate user is mentioned somewhere there. # c) a Linux kernel supporting hotplug and usbdevfs # d) the hotplug package (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/) # # All of the above are expected to be true on recent Red Hat and Fedora # distributions in the default install. # # In the usermap file, the first field "usb module" should be named # "libifp" like this script. # if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ] then # New code, using lock files instead of copying /dev/console permissions # This also works with non-gdm logins (e.g. on a virtual terminal) # Idea and code from Nalin Dahyabhai if [ -f /var/run/console/console.lock ] then CONSOLEOWNER=`cat /var/run/console/console.lock` elif [ -f /var/lock/console.lock ] then CONSOLEOWNER=`cat /var/lock/console.lock` else CONSOLEOWNER= fi if [ -n "$CONSOLEOWNER" ] then chmod 0000 "${DEVICE}" chown "$CONSOLEOWNER" "${DEVICE}" chmod 0600 "${DEVICE}" fi fi
