If your device file is in the /dev directory I know how to fix the
permissions and odd that they are not root.

I have a camera with a USB plug and when I plug it in I see the hard
drive light flicker. I know something is being done. What is the device
name you are seeing. I want to see if my camera is there too.

In the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules you can setup a rule
for the device in question.

777 permissions ?

I'll give it a try. Looks like a promising answer. Thanks for the hint.
I guess I never would have found this place without aid. As soon as I
have success I'll tell you-



Thanks a lot, Alfred

As promised here my solution:

# KERNEL=="raw1394",******************* GROUP="disk"

KERNEL=="raw1394",********************* MODE="777"



As I'm the only one working here, I think this is a safe way to get my
videos without the hassle of chmod into my PC.



Thank you all for the great infos, I learned yet another problem to
solve myself.

If you look more close it looks like this:

root@karl-desktop:~# ls -al /dev/video0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 2008-02-09 14:05 /dev/video0
root@karl-desktop:~#

Notice the group called video. I think we all blong to that.

Why "777" and not "666"? A device shouldn't be executable.

666 is not sufficient for Kino. The reason I also can not understand.
However, after a while of searching around I found this very fact
somewhere in the docs of Kino.

I did not read the docs for quite a while. Maybe they changed something
there. I tried 666 permissions and they also seem to work as expected.
