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.
