Re: Permissions issues?

Looks like y'all are right.  About June 15th or so, Gentoo (maybe others, too) moved the rules from /etc/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev.  I haven't had a chance to try to fix it, but it looks like the installer script that puts the 99-libftdi rules file either needs to be version aware, or write a note into the file that it may need to be relocated.

I had no idea that the udev stuff had moved (I use defaults), and I stay pretty well on top of my system.  Dunno how I missed that.

Thanks for y'alls help.

You can always do "equery files udev" in the future.  (emerge gentoolkit)

Anyway, udev 141 is quite recent. It may be bit different from
the previous version. For example, under Ubuntu 9.04, the rule
directory is now changed from the previous version due to
udev changes. Maybe you need to put your udev
rules to a different place. The other test: you can change
your rule name number to below 50 and then try again.
