Since you are using redhat 9 check out the pam_console module [man 8 pam_console]. I looked in /etc/pam.d/login to find out about this module. From the pam_console(8) man page I started looking at console.perms(5). If you are going to be logging in on the console then I think you can probably set up a file that will change the owner and permission on login/logout to suit your needs.
You might also be able to do it with other services like SSH too, but I'm assuming you'll have physical access when you need to use the pilot link tools.
Hope this is helpful, It's just a guess on my part. I've never tried it but I had heard of its existance so I figured I'd mention it.

Quick Question about setting up a palm device under linux. First off after a lot of time and RTFM I've got it working. My question is more procedural. Pilot-Link and GPilot work fine under RH 9 as root. To get it to work as a user I changed the permissions on a file:
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1
Is this a bad idea? If it is what do I do instead?
Thanks,
Joshua
