Now that I think about it, will the /etc/console.perms stuff work with udev devices? I don't have a palm, so it's a bit difficult to test. This was based on some work I did for someone under RHL 9. It does look like you might be able to cheese the /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions to set the permissions to something other than: ttyUSB*:root:uucp:0660 Maybe just make them world writable (fine for single user machines) ttyUSB*:root:uucp:0666 OR ttyUSB*:root:pilot:0660 and add yourself to the pilot group. OR, simply add yourself to the uucp group :) -- Sean
