[Kstars-devel] FLI CCD indi control panel

[yagvoc-web at yahoo.it]

Hi all,
the problem is, to me, the privileges that are use by
devfs when the device is created. In this moment I
can't check them but if I remember correctly are 644.
This makes them unreadable by any user but root.
At the moment you still need to run the driver as
root.

Maybe with udev something can be done, I will try to
check.

Cheers,
G
