If there is one thing that is stopping Linux from better acceptance, 
it's issues like this.  I was running Red Hat Enterprise 4, syncing my 
palm via jpilot.  I do a clean install of Red Hat Enterprise 5 and I can 
no longer sync my palm.  I know what the problem is, the permissions on 
the devices created by udev.  Problem is, I can not find sufficient 
documentation to tell my how to make this work.  I've found various 
references to permissions files and such, but none of them are 
consistent.  I've spent the better part of a day on this issue, still, 
no love.

So, anyone have a pointer as to how to make udev set the proper 
permissions on the /dev/ttyUSB[12] devices when I plug my palm up?
