Clarification Installed Jaunty - No video group exists Plugged in Cam. Cam (/dev/video0) belongs to root:video (though no video group exists) - Cam only accessible by root I create group "video", and add user "frusso" to group. User frusso can now use the cam. Unplug cam, plug in cam. Cam belongs to root:{NULL} . Users cannot access cam.
The expected behavior: Plug in Cam, users can access cam (with minimal fuss). Ping me if this is not clear enough.
