You know, I've thought about doing that before, but I didn't know exactly what adm had access to so I didn't want to add myself. Looking now though (just did a find / -group adm), I see it has write access to nothing, and only read access to stuff in /var/log, /var/account/pacct*, and /dev/xconsole. The /var/account/pacct files are completely empty, so no worries there. What's /dev/xconsole though? And for the record, is there any way to get sudo working? -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus
