The ttyUSBn devices aren't being created with the wrong permissions--they're not being created at all. I gave up on most of these F8 bugs, to be honest. I'll go back to Windows for what doesn't work in F8. Question about another F8 bug: where does the "Shutdown" applet (menu System -> Shut down...) get the "You are currently logged in as" value? It shows on my system as "Unknown." The "User Switcher" applet knows who I am, but the "Shut down" applet doesn't. Just curious, since it isn't preventing anything from working. -- Mark C.
