Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: important
In the gnome "Users and Groups" tool, any new user added will not be
given access to important groups, such as audio, floppy, or cdrom.
Assuming the purpose of making a
GUI user-administration tool is to
allow less-experienced home desktop users to create new accounts, this
is a problem. From the perspective of the new user added, the floppy,
cdrom drive, and sound output will all be "broken". To our
less-experienced home desktop user (the target for the GUI user
admin tool) it will not be immediately obvious why.
A simple prompt such as "do you wish to give the user access to floppy,
cdrom, audio" (with a "don't ask again" checkbox) would solve the
problem.

Hi,
a long long time ago you reported that the User and Group Editor in
gome-system-tools (users-admin) would not set the necessary groups
(i.e. audio, cdrom, floppy) when you add a user. When I start
users-admin now and add a new user there is a tab "User privileges"
where one can allow users to use the cdrom, audio devices and so
on. This can also be preset in the profile so you make it default for
all new users with a few clicks.
I'm assuming that is what you were missing back when you reported the
bug so I'm closing it now. If it doesn't solve your problem please
reopen the bug with a description why not.
MfG
Goswin
