I can't find any serial numbers in any of the mice/keyboards that I own. Are you going to fully implement console groups? It is something we need for multiuser Xserver and console. Where will the description of the group contents be stored? The contents of the group need to be assigned to the user at login. We would also like to be able to assign USB hubs to the group. The ownership of the hub would transfer at login. From then on anything plugged into the hub would belong to the user that owns the hub. I guess these added devices should go into limbo when the user logs out too. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
