Otto, In my searches for some info on this for a customer's Palm, I ran across a couple of things that might help. One, and these can be found in the SuSE searchable mail list archives, was to make the user a member of UUCP group. The second was changing the Kpilot settings to point to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 or USB1. Since it makes or uses /dev/pilot when initially connected, many commented just making that a symlink to one of the ttyUSBx devices. You may have to try a couple to see which one works for you. ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSBx /dev/pilot I haven't gotten a chance to try these yet, so report back on your progress. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
