All this does is present the Ubuntu version of su-ing to root and runing
chmod on devices. Nothing to see there.

And this is what I'm trying to do.
In the 2.4.x kernel days (and earlier), I could test connections (e.g.,
for my PDA) by trying ttyS0-ttyS3. Same with the USB thumb: I could try
mounting ttyUSB0-ttyUSB3 or sda/sda1/sdb/sdb1, etc. until I discovered the
device. With the 2.6.x kernel I've no idea what devices to try. There are no
/dev/sd* or /dev/ttyUSB*.
