The proper way to do it is to change the permission
settings back to the way they were, and add your
username to group uucp. Doing it that way allows
the system to be used by different users.

Hi
Well, I've now found the port the palm is connecting to - and the
permissions and ownership seem ok (I am operating as user hartr).
[root@bree dev]# ls -l | grep -y usb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 12 20:45 pilot -> ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Jan 12 20:45 ttyUSB0
crw------- 1 hartr uucp 188, 1 Jan 12 20:45 ttyUSB1
That should be :
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188,...
As you can see group uucp has read/write permission.
Anytime you need access to a device that has group
read/write, add your username to that group rather
than mess with the permissions.
Good luck
But I still get...
pi_bind Invalid argument
Check your serial port and settings
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND
Finished
Now - I am just wondering if the issue is that Jpilot is
expecting /dev/pilot to be a serial port rather than USB and is
incorrectly sending the data.
I am completely stumped!
