What were you trying to do?

use pilot syncing and digital camera software.

What's wrong:

The file permissions on /dev/cua/b (Solaris)
and /dev/ttyS0 (Linux) in the cluster machines
do not allow non-privileged users to 
run any such software.

What should have happened:

pilot or digital camera syncings.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
