Setting permissions for USB ports

Comment:
When I am logged in as root, I can access my USB port without problems. But, when I log in as a different user, it doesn't work unless I manually change the permissions for files in the directory /proc/bus/usb to rw-rw-rw-. How can I set these permissions automatically, during boot?

have you tried chmod 777 the dir? I don't like doing that, but the settings should hold.

Try adding the "user" flag to the entry in /etc/fstab for the USB device (if you have one) which allows ordinary users to mount and unmount he device. If the file system is FAT you can also add "umask=0" to give all users write permission to the drive.
