I'm trying to access some devices over the usb bus via libusb-1.0 and I encountered the problem of insufficient permissions. I tried to remount the sysfs with devmode=0666 but that didn't do it. The operating system seems to ignore the devmode option. Under root privileges everything works but I don't like my programms to be run as root. There must be a better way to achieve usb access.
