I tested if one of these group memberships were still needed, and was surprised by the result. I made sure my test user only was a member of his own group, no cdrom group membership, and started k3b. It worked, and was able to burn a CD. No idea how the device access was handled, as none of the binaries involved seem to be sgid or suid.
I then tried audio recording using audacity, but got no sound. Not sure if this is related to group membership or not, as I had not tested if this worked with group membership before I tested without it. I lack the equipment to test access to video and floppy devices, so I can not test that part. Further testing is needed to figure out if the group pam module is still needed or not, but the k3b test gave me hope that it might be dropped from Debian Edu in the future. Btw, shipping the pam package without the group.conf file is probably a good idea anyway, as the file is already empty if all the comments are removed. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
