[SOLVED] usb support vmware server

hi,

i have a problem with the usb support in a vm using windows xp. i added the following line to fstab:

usbfs           /proc/bus/usb   usbfs     auto           0          0

and then connect my usb device to the computer. after that i have to write this command inside the console:

chmod -R 777 /proc/bus/usb/*

If I dont type this command I have no access to my usb stick or printer. I suppose its a permission problem, but i dont know what i have to add to the fstab file.

Can someone help me?

thanks

felix
