Need user access to /dev/parport0 , how ?

[Vincent Trouilliez]

Hi,


I have got a programme that uses the parallel port of the machine.
I added the module ppdev in /etc/modules so that the /dev/parport0
device  gets created at boot so that the program can access the port.
However I have to run the program as root in order to use
the /dev/parport0, not very practical.
How can I (permanently ie) allow user access to this device ?

I would modify the permissions on the file, but since the device needs
to be created at every boot, I also assume that it gets deleted at every
power-off, and the user permissions with it sadly !

Is there a way ? Or will I have no choice but DIY and add a "chmod
something /dev/parport0" in some start-up script in /etc/init.d ???


Thanks for your thoughts :-)


Regards,
