#2 Re: How Debian controls hardware access Posted by Steve (82.41.xx.xx) on Mon 14 Mar 2005 at 13:31 I'm not sure I understand why this is bad, generally speaking most users only need to be added to the audio and possibly video groups to use a machine. If you're running a big environment where you have a lot of machines and users and people can sit down in front of any machine it might be better to simply change the defaults - give each user the membership of group "interactive", and change the permissions on any of the hardward devices that they need to use. (I guess I'm having a hard time seeing why you would need a large number of users all to be able to use every single possible device - instead of just one or two common ones. Large installations of any OS would need tweaking, and here we're just describing the way the system operates by default).Steve -- Steve.org.uk
