For the device rights, you can use the following entries in the config file /etc/devfs.conf: # Allow members of group operator to r/w things to the palm link ucom0 pilot own ucom root:operator perm ucom 0660 And put the desired 'username' in the 'operator' group (or whatever you want): # pw groupmod -n operator -m username The only drawback i found is that since the ucom device is created on "demand", you need to restart devfs each time you plug the palm in: # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart I personaly don't have this problem since i use the "sync over ppp" method. The proposed method from geekhome did not work for me the last time i try it; but i can give it an other try just to see). -- -jpeg.
