I have  gone thru the link
http://piklab.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Port_connection_problems, and
tried as said in the link  "username is already member of many groups, such
as *audio, dip, video* and some others. Add in this field just *, lp* and
leave the system manager. "

i have run the redhat-config-users and played with adding new group , adding
username to lp.
Not sure what wrong i have done..after logging out and in..the results
changed with my test code and lsusb.

The output of lsusb is nil now:
$
$ lsusb
$
whereas earlier it is

$
$lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
$

i have also tried with  groupadd and the with useradd but could not succeed
pl let me know the correct way or the steps.
