Nevertheless, hotplugin works (because when I plug a USB camera I can see in the kernel log (/var/log/messages) messages which start with /etc/hotplug/usb.agent I also looked at the kernel code (method "call_polcy" in usb.c ) and it doesn't seems to me that the hotplug in /etc/init.d is needed . can anybody make some clarifications ? sting _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
