Not true.
Linux desktop security is based on a number of different factors.
Obviously /etc/groups is one of them, applied by udev for the underlying
permission of the device. Policy is that users aren't nominally added
to these groups and instead they are for system daemons to access.

the default of the Linux/Unix standard is use the /etc/group..and the hal must
respect it!
look..if one user isnot in the plugdev group and can aceess a pen drive or
something like this..something is wrong! probaly the hal policies!
All the security in the Linux/Unix system is based in the groups
hal policies define how to make devices available for locally logged in
user (which is not strictly related to groups any more).
