The more I think about it, the less enamoured I am with Debian's system of allocating permissions anyway. I noticed this morning that in order to grant permission to my users to use the cdrom device I had two choices: 1) grant them membership to the "disk" group, clearly a bad idea 2) change the group on /dev/hdc to "audio". I'm not entirely satisfied with either approach. Redhat has a device-by-device permission allocation system, which gives a much finer level of control. Is there a similar scheme in Debian that I just haven't discovered yet? (I realize this is OT, feel free to respond via email) A
