Palm, Fedora Core 3 and Jpilot

[Guy Fraser]

The proper way to do it is to change the permission 
settings back to the way they were, and add your 
username to group uucp. Doing it that way allows 
the system to be used by different users.

That should be :
crw-rw----   1 root  uucp 188,...

As you can see group uucp has read/write permission.

Anytime you need access to a device that has group 
read/write, add your username to that group rather 
than mess with the permissions.

Good luck
