Hi, if you separate the functionalities in semantic groups (which match the functionalities: dialout, deamon, gps, …), you could then simply require that a user of the phone has to be part of all the groups. Then if you give your phone to your little sister but you don't want her to phone and only play with the gps, you can simply create a user with the respective group memberships. ++, OdyX / Didier P.S.
