want to access the parallel port on my machine (using RedHat 9). I am using the
commands iopl and ioprem before I am using outb and inb, but I can access the
port only with root privileges. How can I do it as a regular user? Do I have to
write a driver? Can I install this function with root privileges and then any
user can use it?</span></font></p>
