Hi And what do you think about hal daemon doing a fake login to the user (through pam) and get the id information there.
This provides an uniform way of knowing about user group ownership no mather pam is configured. This is from a desperate guy trying to put 800 user working with plugdev over a 50 machines cluster. Loosing /etc/security/group.conf and pam_group capability, the only chance is changing 'deny' to 'allow' for the 'Device.Volume' entries in the '<policy context="default">' section or, even worst, have a group with 800 users in the ldap database and tweaking /etc/groups in every machine to remove plugdev. Thanks for any help -- _____________________________________________________________ Pedro Celestino dos Reis Rodrigues Departamento de Química e Bioquímica Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa Tel: 21750000-28619
