In order to allow users to use the floppy drive, cdrom etc on the machine they are sitting at, but not on machines they remotely log into, I set CONSOLE_GROUPS floppy:cdrom in the login.defs file. Is it possible to achieve the same sort of thing using xdm (or wdm or kdm etc)? -- Gilbert Laycock email: gtl1@mcs.le.ac.uk Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock Leicester University phone: (+44) 116 252 3902
