Hi Richard, Thanks for your help. I will look into live-config.hooks later on cause now I was successful in adding the live user to the group 'lego' by modifying the adduser.conf and putting it in the chroot_local-includes.
I will soon release version 1 of this live cd. Version 2 will be designed in a different way, based on what I was told from this mailing list in much more detail. Thanks again for your time and help.
