betelgeuse@pena ~/test $ ls -l /dev/usb/hiddev0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 96 2006-11-21 00:45 /dev/usb/hiddev0

It would be useful if udev made these entries available for the usb group to use. I think these files are used to implement user space drivers for misc. stuff so it doesn't do much good to have it root only.

betelgeuse@pena ~ $ emerge -pv udev

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
