I'd like to know the different types of groups that exist on my compute that I can join. Anyone know how to find a list of these?

Another question: I already have an account created by useradd. Is there a way to add a group to the user account without creating a new account alltogether?

One last question:

I get the following error when running k3b with one of my user accounts:

Quote:
cdrecord does not run with root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr.


Anyone know the name of the group I need to add it to?


Thanks for your help.

You need to add your_user to the audio group and/or change permissions on the cdrom device to include your_user.

cat /etc/group will list all the groups on your system.

if you want to add the user to more groups, use the usermod command. check the man page (man usermod) for full syntax, but it will be something like...

usermod your_user -G group1,group2,group3

-DH
