This works fine when a scanner is plugged in *after* the user has logged on. I've hacked /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner to create a symbolic link from /dev/usb/scanner-%sys%devices%pci%... to that /proc/bus/usb... file. When the USB "insertion" is processed during system boot, the symlink gets created. Then when a "console" user logs on, PAM follows the symlink and sets the ownership of the /proc/bus/usb... file appropriately. All I want to do is run a script during the USB "remove" event to get rid of this symlink. Reading through /etc/hotplug/usb.agent, it looks like I should be able to put a script in the location specified by the ${REMOVER} variable, but I've tried this and it never gets executed.
