I forgot to 'splain myself: I am not running a palm off of a USB port. I am running a palm that syncs off of a serial port. In this case it's /dev/ttyS0 and the problem is that every time I reboot the computer, the link /dev/pilot which points to /dev/ttyS0 goes away. Also, the permissions get reset. So in the meantime I added this to my rc.local: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 Is there a better way or is this as good as it gets? -- Time flies like the wind.
