I have experienced the problems with trying to use USB in VMWare Server 2.0. I have read in various places that it involves the settings of some permissions in the /proc file system, but most of the information has been of the "check your permissions on /proc/bus/usb", but nothing to tell what they should be, or what the ownership of the "file" should be, or how to keep them set correctly (I believe that Centos "forgets" those permissions every time it is rebooted).

Can anyone tell me: What the permission needs to be? Who has to have it? How can I set it automatically?

I would prefer to create a group and assign ownership of the "file" to a group (like usbbus), and then assign users to that group as needed. The applications I am needed USB access to are running under desktop OS installs, not servers.

Thanks for any help, Ted Miller Indiana, USA
