I know this isn't a certification forum. But what IS /etc/usbmgr? I have Red Hat 8.0 installed and it doesn't have it. I've been looking everywhere for a short definition on it. Help!
 
/etc/usbmgr is the configuration directory for the Linux tool USB manager. It's a user-mode daemon which watches what devices you have on your USB chain and loads and unloads the appropiate drivers. For me, I have an IBM-cam. If I have USBmgr set up appropiately, all I'd have to do is plug it in. the usbmanager program would automatically "modprobe ibmcam"

This tool's great if you want to load modules in and out for a non-root user but uses multiple drivers.
