“On unix like systems the application will need to be
run as root so that libusb can access the USB bus, the recommended way of doing this is change the
executable to be owned by root and then set the SUID bit (e.g. chown root:root usbhostfs_pc;
chmod +s usbhostfs_pc) usbhostfs_pc will drop permissions when they are not needed, it also
means that any files you create will be owned by you and not root.”
