The simple way would be to use PAM, as described here: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/308 Add pm_group to your list of loaded modules, then configure /etc/security/group.conf to include something like: gdm; *; *; Al0000-2400; audio, video, cdrom, floppy kdm; *; *; Al0000-2400; audio, video, cdrom, floppy ssh; *; *; Al0000-2400; audio, video, cdrom, floppy Now when a user logs in they will be added to the named groups dynamically.
