I typed gpilotd<TAB> here is the output [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ gpilotd gpilotd-control-applet gpilotd-session-wrapper There is no plain "gpilotd" to run so I went with gpilotd-control-applet > 3) Configure EAddress conduit the way you want and make sure you don't > have other non-evolution conduits enabled for syncing. This is to > narrow down the issue. I disabled all conduits except for eaddress and I selected a one time action of "copy to Pilot". Now I will tell you what I did prior to this exercise. I deleted MyPilot from my home directory. I shutdown evolution $evolution --force-shutdown I did $gconftool-2 shutdown I went in to the ~/.evolution folder and in the address subdir I deleted the pilot folder I had taken the batteries out of the Pilot for several hours and then I had to set up the basic config again eg region time and date, so a blank pilot - blank canvas. So when I ran the gpilotd-control-applet it treated the pilot as a first time event. And a new deal was struck, user is now Andrew Greig 501 which is my user number in Mandriva, hooray! > 4) Mail us the result with the screen dump. (of gpilotd).

I checked the ownership attributes of my address data file in .evolution and it was set to andrew:andrew which should be fine as my user and group number are 501. But should I change it to 501:501 ?
