http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/0048.html Yes, you'll need to use PAM. It does support per-group as well as per-user privileges. Unfortunately, PAM is an overly-complicated, poorly-documented mess, which has done more damage to Linux security than any component I can think of, including sendmail. The burden will be on you to figure out how to use it correctly. End-user musicians sure as hell won't know. I don't see much hope of kernel developers documenting this or bothering to test it, either. -- joq
