Hi, Every now and then I am revisiting the "default group" issue for my lab's gnome desktop. I recently built a new image, and last time (a few years ago), I found that in fact very few groups were required to be added to each user (plugdev and fuse and pulse-rt, IIRC). However, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktopHowTo lists many more of these groups: audio, plugdev, camera, video, floppy, cdrom, tape and maybe scanner, fax, dip (for "dial-ip", ppp connections to Internet with pon/poff as set up by pppconfig) or dialout (full serial ports/modem access). Has anyone knowledge of wether these groups could be useful in some cases that I didn't foresee or couldn't test? I do not think any of these are still useful (but I do not own a camera, and I am not sure how one can see whether pulse-rt is useful or not). Sincerly, -- Jean-Christophe Dubacq
