The mode of /dev/pilot is irrelevant since it is a symlink.  They show as 777 as soon
as the link is created anyway.  The mode of ttyS1 is what's important.

Another way round this is to use mode 770 (or 660, I don't think the x bit makes a
difference here) and put the device in a group like pilot.  Then you can control who
has access to the port by adjusting the group members.

Not very important, but maybe someone will learn something.
