Seems the easiest way is with "udev" + some rules. i'm using dbus/hal/ivman trio w/o any other configs. But my usual user is member of more groups: xxxxxx audio cdrom video games cdrw usb users xxxxx plugdev qemu Only remember that 'plugdev' is needed for ivman etc. All dbus/hal/ivman are daemons and need to be started in /etc/init.d.
