Fedora 8 and Palm TE with libusb workarounds

I recently did a fresh install of Fedora 8.  Under Fedora 7, I had built
pilot-link with libusb enabled.   The F8 pilot-link rpm has a
udev rules file but doesn't install it.


$ head /usr/share/pilot-link/udev/60-libpisock.rules
# udev rules file for pilot-link's libpisock library, enabled for libusb
#
SUBSYSTEMS!="usb", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libpisock_rules_end"

# Sony handheld devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0038", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0664"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0066", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0664"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0095", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0664"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="009a", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0664"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00da", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0664"

This differs from the rules I was using for F7:

$ head /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libpisock.rules # $Id:
60-libpisock.rules,v 1.4 2007/02/16 18:26:41 desrod Exp $
#
# udev rules file for pilot-link's libpisock library, enabled for libusb
#
SUBSYSTEMS!="usb", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libpisock_rules_end"

# Sony handheld devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0038", MODE="0664",
RUN+="/sbin/pam_console_apply -c
/etc/security/console.perms.pilot-link $env{DEVNAME}"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0066", MODE="0664",
RUN+="/sbin/pam_console_apply -c
/etc/security/console.perms.pilot-link $env{DEVNAME}"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0095", MODE="0664",
RUN+="/sbin/pam_console_apply -c
/etc/security/console.perms.pilot-link $env{DEVNAME}"

Even after creating a dialout group and adding my login to it,
there were permission issues using pilot-xfer.   Reverting to
the old configuration files from F7 seems to be working.
