After further investigation it seems that adding myself to the plugdev group in /etc/group works, but using the facility of /etc/security/group.conf : gdm;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom, audio, video, hal, plugdev, users, fuse, scanner, floppy, console login;*;*;Al0000-2400;cdrom, audio, video, hal, plugdev, users, fuse, scanner, floppy, console ssh;*;*;Al0000-2400;users, fuse which yields correcly the plugdev and others groups in the terminal when typing "groups", does not work. I presume that this is because of the "slave" structure of KDE. I really would like to know what are the precise messages sent by KDE, and by which user/group combination. However, I am sorry to say that 377689 is not fixed, but the fault may not be in hal anymore. Or is the /etc/security/groups.conf not supported? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
