Draeven, My problem is not that I don't know how to add users to groups, but that udev is ignoring its permissions config files and assigning devices to the wrong users or groups. The permissions that udev is assigning to /dev/snd are not the permissions udev.conf tells it to assign. Got any ideas? Meredith
