Console or kdm.

I haven't changed any permissions under /etc/security/.

I've found this in the changelog of setup-2.2.0-31mdk:
* Tue Aug 06 2002 Frederic Lepied <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
2.2.0-30mdk
- added cdwriter and audio groups for the dev package.
I dunno which 'dev package' is meant, but I have neither an 'audio'
nor a 'cdwriter' group in /etc/group. The 'utmp' group which got
added on August 11th is there.
Cheers,
Andreas
