It looks like Varun was able to get his system to work without adding
his user to disk. But to be clear: hal should be in both the storage
group and the hal group.(?)
(just not the normal user due to security risks).

At the risk of getting a RTFM (actually, I searched and didn't find
anything), can somebody expand on what the storage and disk groups
are? What's the difference and purpose of each, and what are the
security implications of each?
Thanks very much,

-Jeff
