Specifically, I think it would help the user alleviate his excedrin headache in those cases where the security people have decided that the common user should not be able to use the dvd burner, or, heaven forbid it still works, a floppy drive or usb key. I went thru all that with a much older distro that was adament that selinux had to be installed and working. I drew the line on that distro after 2 weeks of fidgiting with it, trying to get some real work done, when it denied me, the use and account holder, the right to launch an editor to reply to a message thread I had originated 2 days prior. No install I have done since has ever had enough selinux in it for a bloodhound to find. Perhaps I am a bit paranoid, but the support guy whose initials are SS, I also came to the conclusion was actually a plant, on the NSA payroll. Back to the subject, a graphical interface that would allow the user to be added to the groups he is interested in, and should normally be allowed by savvy admins to use those facilities, would simplify said admins job at keeping track of who can do what. My $0.02 (in 1934 dollars of course). ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
