TTBOMK we never configured /etc/security/group.conf with any non-comment default values. Before we got "uaccess" in squeeze or wheezy (yes, it's that old), lenny used ConsoleKit to apply ACLs to devices. Syntactically this was a bit different, but the principle was exactly the same. The "plugdev" group was muuch earlier than that -- we came up with it in the 2005 era (sarge, and still in etch I believe). > Do you mean to tell that the uaccess preference has been in effect > since before Jessie, and is still not documented? Until now I > assumed it was a new policy for Stretch. Yes, way before. In Lenny it was Consolekit, but basically the same thing, and in that time we started cleaning up all those auxiliary hardware access group (this was much easier to do in Ubuntu -- unfortunately Debian's installer *still* puts you into half a dozen groups ☹ ).
