Boy, this kind of problem has been following around lately. When I attempt to start Xsane as user I get an error message telling me "No device available." One of the help options states that the permissions for the device file may not allow its use---try as root. Naturally, when I start the program as root it recognizes the scanner and works perfectly. But I sure don't want to run this program as root. I thought that I had all of my permissions taken care of in /etc/devfs.conf, but apparently I don't. Either that or it really isn't a permissions problem to begin with, in which case I'm not sure where to start looking for a solution. Rem
