Default installations don't want that, because of security concerns with firewire and DMA access. The old firewire stack is deprecated now and replaced with new drivers, so these rules will not be there for very long anymore. No regular user should ever be in the group "disk". It will allow to reformat all system partitions. Historically "disk" is more for backup programs. Also raw1394 has not much to do with "disk". :) Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
