Speaking as a user and sysadmin, I also prefer the group approach. But I dislike having to add yet another new group. Debian already lists several groups [1] that could be used for this. Particularly, staff looks like a good option to me. The amount of groups that a users needs to belong to in order to get the best experience from their computer is growing and growing. This wouldn't be a problem, if there wasn't a bug with nfs related to having more than 16 groups [2]. Also, is there an easy way to add a second (or third) user to all the groups that the user created when installing is added? If there isn't, I think there should be. [1]: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch12.en.html [2]: I regularly need to delete myself from one or two groups in order to add myself to another group that I need, because of this bug; I have 8 nfs groups, thus cannot afford to have more than 8 local groups, so I generally have to choose either having access to the scanner or the sound card. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
