Re: gnome-pilot anyone?

Greetings,

Does anyone have gnome-pilot working on a Netwinder? (Has anyone tried? :-) I can't get it to start to sync, the pilot times out in the first stage when gnome-pilot is waiting to send the new name and ID.

As we say in New York, "Akhaa!" The problem seems to be serial permissions: my Debian Intel, PPC and Alpha boxes all have root.dialout 660 for /dev/ttyS*, but the Netwinder has root.root 640.

Is there a reason for this?  Or is this a makedev bug on ARM alone?

(Note: I haven't actually *tried* a sync yet, because I subscribed to the gnome-pilot-list, and just got word of http://bugs.debian.org/117608 which scared the hell out of me... I'll wait until 0.1.63 is uploaded for ARM. :-)

Zeen,
