No it isn't. /etc/devfs.conf deals with devices avaiable at boot time - cdrom drives etc devices that are plugged in and unplugged - usb gadgets like scanners :-) - are handled by /etc/devfs.rules So get rid of that entry in /etc/devfs.conf and insert the right thing in /etc/devfs.rules Mine looks like this:- [system=3D10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups ## Glyn added these below add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group operator add path 'tap*' mode 0660 group operator You will want to change operator to scanner for your scanner group.=20 That first line gives the ruleset a name and a number; then in /etc/rc.conf you should put the line devfs_system_ruleset=3D"system" That should work after a reboot. atb Glyn
