+# the console according to pam_console can access it from user space
+#
+# Note that for this script to work, you'll need all of the following:
+# a) a line in the file /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap or another usermap file
+# in /etc/hotplug/usb/ that corresponds to the device you are using.
+# b) a setup using pam_console creates the respective lock files
+# containing the name of the respective user. You can check for that
+# by executing "echo `cat /var/{run,lock}/console.lock`" and
+# verifying the appropriate user is mentioned somewhere there.
+# c) a Linux kernel supporting hotplug and usbdevfs
+# d) the hotplug package (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/)
+#
+# In the usermap file, the first field "usb module" should be named
+# "consoleUserPerms" to invoke this script.
