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
