Actually yes (sorry), I was hoping this would be enough to help him out by itself (I actually copied the stuff from a LUG meeting my brother did at his LUG http://www.gtlug.org/meetings.html) Here is a better set of instructions.
# Tips on what not to forget: # # * Find your port by doing a HotSync and then checking 'dmesg' # output. # * Create the '/dev/pilot' device: # serial: ln -s /dev/ttyS# /dev/pilot # usb: ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB# /dev/pilot # * As root, change the permissions on /dev/usb/ttyUSB# device: # chown 'user' /dev/usb/ttyUSB# # chgrp 'group' /dev/usb/ttyUSB# # chmod ug+rw /dev/usb/ttyUSB# # * With 'pilot-xfer' and 'J-Pilot' start the HotSync from your PDA # before engaging the application's sync features. (/dev/pilot needs # to be active). gpilotd does not need this step to sync with evolution. Once again, sorry. I should have taken a minute to proofread and correct this before sending it. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Keating [mailto:hosting@;j2solutions.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: USB Cradle setup (Was: 8.0 Problems - Any ideas?)

(/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?
