(/dev/pilot needs # to be active). not to nitpik here, but wouldn't you want to find your port BEFORE you create your symlink? Also, since you are just using a symlink, you'll have to change the permissions on the serial/usb device, not the symlink. You can't very well create a symlink to /etc/shadow as a normal user, change the permissions on the symlink, then have access to edit /etc/shadow now would you? -- Jesse Keating j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
