It didn't work, but at least now I'm getting some feedback. When I tried to synch, I got the following messages:

pi_bind illegal seek check your serial port and setting Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND Finished.

OK. The thing to check first is what port your Palm is connecting on. The easy way to do this is with tail -f /var/log/messages and then to plug in the Palm and start a Hotsync. The output should show the ports that it's connecting to (or an error if there's a problem). Next, try pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 -l This should list the databases on your Palm - if it fails, try /dev/usb/ttyUSB0. Once this works, put the same information into JPilot and all should go fine.

My question is how does one input a name and number that will overwrite/update the current null number that exists??????

Check the man page for pilot-link/pilot-xfer. I had to do something like this myself one time - it is possible :-) John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Fields of Valour: 2 Norse clans battle on one of 3 different boards

SuSE 9.1

I recently installed SuSE 9.1. I installed jpilot, and restored my ~/.jpilot directory.

Since you restored your ~/.jpilot have a look at the owner/perms. UID's changed from earlier versions, from 500 min to 1000 min.

I changed the owner UID from 1000 back to 500 when I installed. Those are right. Thanks for the idea, though. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4yaqjeziQOokQnARAr2hAKCAtRdtgDKcSj+hLIM/82cjH1/hFwCgheyj CnOFpoKVw87RyMR51vb9sWM= =0ioq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
