    By setting "ralvy" in /etc/udev/rules.d wouldn't this limit it to only 
    one user?.  Maybe something like `whoami` might work
    
    As for suggestions for folks with problems. Check to make sure the 
    modules visor is mounted "lsmod | grep visor" when it is called by the 
    HOT SYNC button.  Then check "lsusb" to make sure the USB system knows 
    about it.  at that point here pressing the Sync button on Jpilot works 
    ever time.
