You want devfs rules to deal with it -- or otherwise a usbd configuration to
handle it. The following (run as root after boot) will ensure that the
devices get the correct permissions:
devfs ruleset 10
devfs rule delset
devfs rule add path ucom* mode 666 group operator
devfs rule add path ugen* mode 666 group operator
devfs rule applyset
YMMV, using permissions 0660 is certainly safer, but then you need to add the
users you trust to use the console / USB ports safely to group operator.
Alternatively, enable usbd after putting a sensible entry in usbd.conf; the
one for the Visor is this:
device "Handspring Visor"
devname "ugen[0-9]+"
vendor 0x082d
product 0x0100
release 0x0100
attach "/usr/local/bin/coldsync -md -p /dev/${DEVNAME} -t usb"
For the Z31, it's vendor 0x830 product 0x60 or 0x61, remove release, and
instead of running Coldsync, use chmod / chown / chgrp on ${DEVNAME}, and
maybe even soft-link /dev/pilot to it. Use your imagination -- any single
shell command-line is allowed there.
(PS. I _think_ this is also in the FAQ on kpilot.org, but if not please
re-format in HTML and send it to me and I'll add it).
