I think AUTOMOUNT FOR usbdevice is needed (as DiskOnKeys, Cameras). |
Sound
- When you create a new user, they should automatically be able to listen to a CD.
- Put all new users into audio group, or
- 'chmod 666 /dev/dsp; chmod a+r /dev/cdrom; chmod 666 /dev/mixer'.
Modem
- All users should be able to create an internet connection.
- 'chmod u+s /usr/bin/kppp; chmod +x /usr/bin/kppp'.
Automount
With a CD in, clicking on a desktop icon should open CD. Likewise for floppy. See ?CreateAutofsScript for one possibility.

Is not enough to put the user in the audio group? I think is simpliest

To have a user default to being in the audio group, edit the file /etc/default/adduser. From the man page, it looks like there can only be one group added. Looks like you could also run useraddd -D -g audio as part of a script. I wonder if there are Debian rules about modifying things like this in a package install. I can imagine that this could really piss off a good sysadmin. -- MarkBucciarelli

also, cd-writers should automatically be setup properly. Altho with Linux 2.6/3.0, I guess tehre won't be much need for any setup...

For security, the user should probably be asked if the user that is being created should have access to play sound and access video devices...
There is another existing script that does exactly this - [http://freshmeat.net/projects/autoautofs auto-autofs].
CD Burning
Don't forget to let the users burn their CD's, DVD's, ...
It is possible to autodetect the type of device, and if it is a burner, then set the writable bits.
- Users should be in the floppy group, as it is normal that you have read and write access to a floppy, even to format it ! -- Michel Nolard
