Give user access to usb/iphone??

Hello all. I'm trying to get usbmuxd+ifuse working with my iphone (installed them from AUR along with various dependencies). All in all they seem to be working, but trying to mount the phone I get this:

libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/006: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.

The doumentation says I have to create a user called usbmux (which I have). The problem, I'm pretty sure, is that usbmux does not have access to my usb-devices. How would I go about giving a user control over usb-devices?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Give user access to usb/iphone??

chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/001/006 Should work, however that is certainly not a solution. There was a way to make USB accessible to user, but I don't remember it right now, I think it was somewhere on the wiki, If I find it, I'll edit my post.

EDIT:
Try setting this in /etc/fstab, see if it helps (be careful with the group id, though....)

EDIT2:
Whoohooo post #700
