[PLUG] Re:USB

[Anthony Schlemmer]

I know Kodak has quite few cameras out there but I don't know if the 
usbdevfs needs to be mounted for any of the EasyShare cameras like the 
DX3900. I have an EasyShare DX4900 and I access the camera directly 
though "gphoto2". 

The only special setup I did was to make it so my "hotplug" service sets 
up the USB port permissions for me so I don't have to be root to access 
my camera. All I did was to place an entry for my camera in the 
/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap file.
