Bryan's fix is the right one. If you set all the ttyUSB* nodes to console ownership (as the suggested patch does), this could negatively impact on USB printer (or other device) sharing or other such stuff. Better to set a link with /dev/pilot pointing to /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1 or wherever is the appropriate device, and then the in-place /etc/security/console.perms works fine. -- Paul W.
