That may be the problem. My palm sync works fine as a user without any
mods to udev, as long as I initiate the sync on the palm and then click
the Sync button in jpilot within a few seconds. I am in the uucp group.
My "serial port" is /dev/ttyUSB1 in jpilot/preferences/settings.

Here are my ports:
[prs@wx1 ~]$ ll /dev/ttyU* /dev/pilot
ls: /dev/pilot: No such file or directory
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Oct 20 10:21 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 Oct 20 10:21 /dev/ttyUSB1

Possibly.

No need to be root as long as you are in the uucp group.

My (self-compiled) versions:
jpilot-0.99.8-7.1
pilot-link-0.11.8-16
I see rawhide (my SRPM source) is still at
jpilot-0.99.8-7.1.src.rpm
pilot-link-0.11.8-16.src.rpm
And EL5 beta is using
jpilot-0.99.8-7.1
pilot-link-0.11.8-16
Perhaps 0.99.9 is too far ahead of the curve, or it is a permissions
problem.
Good luck,
Phil
