-# Sets up newly plugged in USB device so that the user who owns
-# the console according to pam_console can access it from user space
-#
-# Note that for this script to work, you'll need all of the following:
-# a) a line in the file /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap or another usermap file
-#    in /etc/hotplug/usb/ that corresponds to the device you are using.
-# b) a setup using pam_console creates the respective lock files
-#    containing the name of the respective user. You can check for that
-#    by executing "echo `cat /var/{run,lock}/console.lock`" and
-#    verifying the appropriate user is mentioned somewhere there.
-# c) a Linux kernel supporting hotplug and usbdevfs
-# d) the hotplug package (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/)
-#
-# In the usermap file, the first field "usb module" should be named
-# "consoleUserPerms" to invoke this script.
