permissions issue
We are trying to run a program on a Red Hat ES3 machine that works fine under root user but not as any other user. I believe its getting denied access to the USB ports (which this program needs), Does anyone know how i can open up access to the USB ports on a machine to all users.

Thanks,
Frank

twinstar

TWINSTAR(8)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       TWINSTAR(8)

NAME

       twinstar - Control the Twinstar feature of a Xorcom Astribank

SYNOPSIS

       twinstar {status|jump|enable-wd|disable-wd|ports}

DESCRIPTION

       twinstar is a tool to control the Twinstar (dual USB port) of a Xorcom Astribank. There is a single and mandatory argument which is the
       command to run. That command operates on all the Astribanks connected to the system.

       Technically all the commands are implemented using Dahdi::Xpp::Mpp which in turn uses astribank_tool. Thus using thus tool will require
       root permissions or otherwise read/write permissions to the USB device.

       The twinstar may be in watchdog mode, which means that it will jump to the remote host if it loses contact with the local host. This can
       happen if the machine is powered down or hangs or even if the xpp drivers are unloaded. Which is why the standard twinstar scripts put the
       Astribanks in twinstar mode on startup and remove it on normal shutdown.

       An Astribank will only jump to the other host (either if asked explicitly or by the watchdog) only if there is a different Astribank
       connected to the other port and running. Which is why all of this has no effect on systems that don't need this functionality.

       The command are:

   status
       Shows the current status of all Astribanks. Note that it only shows Astribanks whose current active USB port is the one connected to this
       computer.

       Example output:

	DEVICE		PORT	   WATCHDOG	   POWER0     POWER1
	usb:001/010	0	   on		   yes	      yes
	usb:001/011	0	   on		   yes	      yes

       For each Astribank on the system that has Twinstar support we get:

       Device
	   The address of the device. This is the bus address, e.g. the address you see in lsusb / dahdi_hardware.

       Port
	   The active USB port on the Astribank. This should be always '0' on the master and always 1 on the slave.

       Watchdog
	   on if the watchdog is triggered in the Atribank or off otherwise.

       Power0, Power1
	   Shows which ports of this Astribank are connected to a USB port of a running computer. This only shows whether or not the USB host
	   provides power.

   ports
       Shows the same 'Port' column of the status command.

   jump
       Command all the Astribanks to jump to the other port. This works regardless the watchdog mode is enabled or not. But requires that there is
       power on the other port.

   enable-wd
       Enables watchdog mode.

   disable-wd
       Disables watchdog mode.

FILES

       twinstar mostly uses astribank_tool which in turn mostly uses USB files under /dev/bus/usb .
