Why should I need privs to talk to *any* SCSI device, when I want to talk to just *one* SCSI device? Yes, it is a missing feature in libscg. It requires priviledge to talk to *any* device, while is only really needs to talk to *one* device. [Imagine ls that only worked if it had priviledges for reading /etc/shadow. That would surely be bug.] Pavel -- Thanks, Sharp! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
