SDB:VMware - USB support

Version: 10.1

Problem:

WMware doesn't recognize USB devices. That's because VMware (release 18.7.2006) only knows the usbfs.

Solution:

within /etc/fstab change the following line:

usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

to

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devgid=108,devmode=0660,busgid=108,busmode=0770,listgid=108,listmode=0660 0 0 

edit-this line does not work, probably a bad entry for "devmode" try "devmode=0666"

Create group usbfs with gid=108 and add a vmware user to this group.
