USB/devfs Problems

[nealbirch]

you can add this to /etc/devfsd.conf (if you use devfs) to take care of the permissions for your palm device:

# Manage Palm pilot stuff

LOOKUP ^pilot$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink usb/tts/1 pilot
REGISTER ^usb/tts/1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname pilot PERMISSIONS root.users
REGISTER ^usb/tts/1$ PERMISSIONS root.users 666
UNREGISTER ^usb/tts/1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink pilot

#

This sets up the /dev/pilot symlink and gets the permissions right automatically. Don't forget to restart devfsd after you make the changes.
