We (students council) use pam_ldap for users and primary groups and |
| 11 |
pam_group w/ /etc/security/group.conf for secondary groups like |
| 12 |
video,sound,games. |

We actually considered restricting the games group to certain login |
| 15 |
times (i.e. after 18 pm ) to prevent our fellow students from gaming |
| 16 |
during office hours, but that just lead to long time sessions |
| 17 |
over-night. Since group memberships are evaluated on session creation. |

I can imagine some multi-user setups (parents/children) were some user |
| 20 |
shouldn't play games-fps/* at all. |
| 21 |
But who actually shares a computer these days. |

One real benefit of extra groups is some chmod g+s hack for e.g. skype |
| 24 |
in combination with firewall rules restricting outbound connections. |
