Can't it (grant extra groups to user) be done using pam ? /etc/pam.d/login # This allows certain extra groups to be granted to a user # based on things like time of day, tty, service, and user. # Please uncomment and edit /etc/security/group.conf if you # wish to use this. # (Replaces the `CONSOLE_GROUPS' option in login.defs) # auth optional pam_group.so -- Mariusz Zielinski
