Jay,
Ah, I know that problem well. Anyone know why the User & Groups gui won't
work on a thin client?
My hack-ish solution is to do a find & replace on the /etc/groups file
after adding the user.
But I think officially you should add new ltsp users to these groups thus:
# useradd -G dialout,fax,cdrom,floppy,tape,dip,video,plugdev,fuse username
Perhaps you create an alias out of that in your ~/.bashrc
You can double-check a users' member groups with the command:
id username
-peter
