Thanks! Yep, that's the June 30 thread. Good, we're on the same page. :-)

You might try finding what permissions are currently being set. Try plugging
your device, and as root, running:
strace -e trace=open bidentify
This should show a bunch of open() calls, opening files like
/dev/bus/usb/001/001 or maybe under /sys or /proc.
Match that against the bus & device number in 'lsusb''s output:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0fca:0004 Research In Motion, Ltd.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0fca:0001 Research In Motion, Ltd. Blackberry Handheld
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
And check the actual owner, group, and permissions on those files:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001
The udev file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-blackberry-perms.rules by default
is set to use the "plugdev" group. If the device files have that
group, you can add yourself to that group and you're set.
If the group doesn't exist, you can create it, or change it to something
that makes sense on your system.
In a separate universe... there's HAL:
I suspect there have been some HAL changes in Fedora 12, so I'm hoping
that udev is all we need to fiddle with right now. But I won't know
for sure until I actually run Fedora 12 and see what HAL is actually doing.
I know that the old ConsoleKit style of behaviour was really cool on
Fedora, but these things keep shifting under our feet, unfortunately.
If you want to delve into the HAL stuff, the RPM also installs
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/19-blackberry-acl.fdi.
Compare that with the other ACL files in that directory, and see
if there's anything obvious that's out of whack. Maybe using the "pda"
acl set is not a good assumption anymore. Note that hal uses getfacl/setfacl
to set permissions, though, not groups, so use those commands instead
of ls.
Good luck. Let us know if you run into roadblocks.
