LMDE 64bit 2011-0 XFCE
kernel 3.0.0.1

syncing PDA (pilot-sync / jpilot) is blocked

lsusb -vBus 003 Device 005: ID 0830:0060 Palm, Inc. Tungsten C/E/T/T2/T3 / Zire 71
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/003/005: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
Couldn't open device, some information will be missing
...

Viewed
/lib/udev/rules.d
and found USB devices were added to group "lp"

So I added my user to groups: lp, disk, fuse
rebooted.
Still no sync.

Tried.
sudo find /dev/bus/usb -exec chmod 777 {} \;
Still no sync.

also tried
sudo modprobe visor
which worked years ago
No sync.

solved by adding my user to the following groups.

dialout: Full and direct access to serial ports. Members of this group can reconfigure the modem, dial anywhere, etc.

dip: THe group's man stands for "Dialup IP". Being in group dip allows you to use a tool such as ppp, dip, wvdial, etc. to dial up a connection. The users in this group cannot configure the modem, they can just run the programs that make use of it.

Requesting that the addition of a user add those groups from the skeleton.
