Hi,
note that OWFS nowadays have built-in FTDI support, you just have to
specify the correct serial. In your case, it looks like the serial is
A6XJSOX5, so this might work:
owserver -d ftdi:s:0x0403:0x6001:A6XJSOX5
(If it is a LinkUSB device, use --link instead of -d for optimal
performance). As mentioned before, owusbprobe can help you with
identification (however not sure how reliable it is, yet).

No need to google, udev already ships such rule:
$ tree /dev/serial/
/dev/serial/
├── by-id

└── by-path
└── pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.3:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
One name encodes serial number of a dongle, second one physical
connection – up to USB port.
Both are created by 60-serial.rules from upstream udev.
You are perfectly right. I failed to mention that I prefer to write my
own rules just because I like shorter, more descriptive names, like
/dev/ttyOWbasement, and because I *never*ever* run owserver as root,
but as a dedicated system user, so I need to setup permissions. In
other words I split configuration in two steps: udev will find the
serial adapter and setup symlink and permissions, while owfs.conf will
point to a descriptive name.
But of course if default permissions are OK, and you can cope with
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A6XJSOX5-if00-port0
there is really no reason for writing a custom udev-rule.
In fact instructions for a basic owserver configuration on linux
should use your suggestion, and not mine.
