bad idea to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules as that file is replaced by updates - at least it was when udev update was released. Better to create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules as that will persist thru updates and do the same function. # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules KERNEL="ttyUSB1",SYMLINK="pilot" # cat /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions #set Palm Pilot rwx pilot*:root:usb:0666 and I left this out of my previous post since it obviously works or I wouldn't be able to sync using J-Pilot or 'pilot-xfer' since the existence of /dev/pilot depends upon them and that I press the sync button either on the phone or on the base...there is no perceptible difference between the two events as either will cause the /dev/pilot symlink to be created with the permissions as indicated. If you have done something else to make it work, I would love to know what it was but I suspect that perhaps unknowingly, you stumbled upon something that made it work that you can't put your finger on.
