That is exactly how it USED to be done. Now we have:
$ls /etc/udev/rules.d
10-libifp.rules 60-wacom.rules 90-alsa.rules
40-multipath.rules 70-mdadm.rules 90-hal.rules
51-packagekit-firmware.rules 70-persistent-cd.rules
91-drm-modeset.rules
60-libmtp.rules 70-persistent-net.rules
97-bluetooth-serial.rules
60-libnjb.rules 85-pcscd_ccid.rules 99-fuse.rules
60-pcmcia.rules 85-pcscd_egate.rules
And 90-hal.rules contains this:
# pass all events to the HAL daemon
RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
Do I need to make a file 71-persistent-usb.rules ? The reason I am
suspicious of doing that is because I used the gnome set authorization
tool to allow non root access to my ttyUSB devices and I haven't found a
rule for that in this directory. I'd use that tool to allow access to
the USB port for my programmer, but it doesn't appear to handle non
standard devices.
I don't feel so bad about asking this question now...
