    Jaunty lost permissions for SCSI

    Can someone please help me out here?

    I've recently upgraded to Jaunty 9.04 and have found and cured several issues myself, but I can't find the cure for this one. I run Ubuntu on a 386 AMD based machine, and connect my SCSI Epson GT7000 scanner through a PCI SCSI adapter card. I've managed to get the scanner working OK, but I have to issue the command
    Code:
    sudo chmod 777 /dev/sg3
    after every reboot. I'm looking for the "correct" way to make the permissions stick. I've discovered that Jaunty now has two udev/rules.d directories, one in /etc/ and another in /lib/ but neither of these now has a permissions file in them, as previous releases used to.

    So what is the right way to assign permanent permission to access a SCSI device, which may or may not be switched on at boot time?

    Thanks for any help offered.

    I found the solution here:
    http://jhansonxi.blogspot.com/2009/0...i-scanner.html

    My 45-scsi-scanner.rules reads as follows:
    Code:
    # permissions for EPSON GT-7000  SCSI scanner
    SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{vendor}=="EPSON  ",ATTRS{model}=="SCANNER GT-7000  ", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="scanner%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="scanner"
    And make sure you are a member of the "scanner" group.
