Actually, the arguments are for networked workstations, not thin clients. Thin clients have a different approach. For networked workstations in a large installation, say 2000 machines and 50000 users, it is not possible to put 50000 users in the plugdev group (neither OpenLDAP, NIS nor /etc/group will work properly with that many members in the group), and you do not want to give all 50000 users access to other users hotplugged devices on any of the 2000 machines. :) You want the user in front of the computer to have access to his local device, and only that. :) Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
