As stated in another post, the problem turned out that libusb was
looking for a group called "dialout" that Fedora never created in the
first place. I manually added the group name and gave everyone that
would need it access to the group and the problem disappeared.

libusb does not, but should, give R-W access of the USB ports to users.
I think this is a major oversite with whoever packages libusb and
absolutely *NEEDS* to be included as an option. Without this fixed, it
is impossible to access your Palm unless you are logged in as root.
It works for me out of the box, and I did nothing special. Sounds like
the problem isn't with libusb as such. The Usual Suspect nowadays seems
to be ConsoleKit. Failing that, take a look
at /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libpisock.rules where udev sets up permissions.

Only for older versions of pilot-link. New versions use libusb instead
of the visor module and in my experience work better (in fact you should
make sure 'visor' is *not* loaded).
