Package: user-setup Version: 1.28 Tags: patch In squeeze, the desktop uses consolekit and friends to grant access to devices for the user in front on the screen. This scale a lot better when there is a lot of users in LDAP or NIS that need to get access to the local devices on their own machine, but not the local devices on other peoples machine.
The code in user-setup-apply to add the first user to all the groups in passwd/user-default-groups should no longer be needed. I believe it should be dropped for Squeeze, or at least the default groups used should be trimmed down to nothing. Here is a patch to remove the code.
