Thread: udev rules do not make the proper changes

hello,

running xubuntu (i've tried changes on both 32 , 64 bit variants) 12.04, current updates have been applied.

have following udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/79-ftdi.rules

subsystem=="usb", attrs{idvendor}=="2341", attrs{idproduct}=="0001", symlink+="sensors/ftdi_%s{serial}", owner="sensor", group="dialout", mode="0660"

symlink created, , group changed dialout, however, owner not change sensor (the owner stays root, , sensor user exists , i've logged it) , mode stays 660 no matter put in udev rule.

i'm not sure this, try

code:

owner:="sensor", group:="dialout", mode:="0660"

the := syntax supposedly 'locks' assignment later rule can't revert - used form pluggable fingerprint reader , seemed work
