libphidgets for Debian
----------------------

To use the Phidgets, you need to have read and write access to the USB
filesystem device nodes that this package automatically creates, if hotplug is
installed. Assuming that you chose the group 'phidgets' (the default) to be
the one able to access the devices, you could give access to user martin like
so:

  adduser martin phidgets

Now martin would need to log off and on again for the group membership to come
into effect. Then, he can access the Phidgets through libphidgets as expected.

Please avoid working as root just to be able to work with the Phidgets. The
above procedure is not complicated and Just Works (tm), and it's a lot safer!
