Re: [BitPim-user] Syncing on Linux without root permissions (VX 8300)

[D.J. <pea...@ya...>]

Joe,
What you're looking for is udev rules. Set up a udev rule for the phone and a group specifically with permissions to the device, say cellusers group. Put your user in that group, they'll have the permissions needed for the device, but not the rest of the system. 

Good luck. ;-)

Sent from a Remote Location via ROOT! ;-)
