[gentoo-user] automatically adding a new user to cdrom group?

[gentoo-user] automatically adding a new user to cdrom group?

[Schleimer, Ben]

Would it be reasonable to request that useradd
automatically adds a new user to the cdrom group?

For a long time I couldn't figure out why the cdrom
didn't work properly in user mode. Once i stumbled
about the "add user to cdrom group" solution,
everything works correctly. I'm thinking that gentoo
would be a better system if this was done
automatically.

Thanks,
Ben

Add 'alias useradd="useradd --groups cdrom"' to your profile.

You can do this yourself in /etc/group by assigning different group
names the same gid:

users:x:100:rjf
cdrom:x:100:
plugdev:x:100:
audio:x:100:
scanner:x:100:
usb:x:100:
...

Thanks for the hint.
This seems like the best solution.
I'll implement this as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Ben
