Hi all,

After finally getting USB block devices to work (they broke cos of dodgy USB 
support in 2.6.8 - I wish 2.6 was more stable...) I still can't access a 
digital camera as anything other than root.  I get the following when camera 
is on and plugged in:



watermelon:/home/john# ls -lR /proc/bus/usb
/proc/bus/usb:
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 2005-03-01 09:47 001
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 0 2005-03-01 09:47 002
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 2005-03-01 12:13 devices

/proc/bus/usb/001:
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   43 2005-03-01 09:47 001
-rw-rw----  1 root camera 57 2005-03-01 12:13 025



I've added normal users to the camera group, to no avail.

Any ideas?  As I've said everything works fine under root.

John.
