One could envision usage of POSIX ACLs. Very hackish, but some daemon could add an ACL entry to various files in /dev when a user logs in, or logs out, or time passes, or some device is plugged in, or whatever. No need for special groups. Of course, maintenance would probably be a nightmare, unless there's a way to share ACLs between files that I'm not aware of. Roland. -- Roland Mas Ace of clubs? Let's see that.
