udev rules for ubuntu disable access for non root users

Reported by Lars Kneschke | August 3rd, 2009 @ 07:36 AM | in 1.0 Release

I installed the packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu.

The udev rules delivered with the packages make the usb devices available to root:root(0664) only. Which breaks access for any non root user.

To make access also possible for other users, I appended

, GROUP="audio"

to any line in /etc/udev/rules.d/89-libiphone.rules.

After that change I was able to access the IPhone also a normal user.

I'm not sure if the audio group is correct group to use, but at least seems root:root not to be the right choice.
