Steve / Jim Duuuude! ... Thanks for the reply... Yeah, I've been running Asterisk under it's own userid/group on my other box, so I tried setting up the rpt box the same. But what I've finally found is... that the Linux kernel claims hid interfaces when devices are 'inserted' and then does not seem to readily relinquish them to 'user-space' applications (???). There 'supposedly' is a means to indicate to the kernel to 'ignore' a particular class of device by rebuilding the kernel with a modified hid_blacklist struct (in source file '/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.23.1/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c' for kernel 2.6.23.1) with the hex code of the vendor and deviceid to ignore. I tried building the kernel in this fashion, but the issue remains... Go figure... So I decided to make my life easier and just run Asterisk as root. At least I now have the latest kernel running on my box... Thanks... mike. ...app_rpt rocks.... Jim Duuuude wrote:
well, to my knowledge you have to run asterisk as root. I never tested it any other way, and I dont know of any other way of doing it.
