It appears that if a program initially queries for a need to authenticate, that's when the problem occurs. 2 - why on earth would you think that this problem doesn't show up on other distributions...I think quite the contrary, as this problem seemed to be originally reported in Debian. 3 - as a network system administrator, ugly hack solutions like adding a user to a local group is a very lame solution when users are on LDAP and not local and there are limitations on group memberships, etc. This shouldn't be needed for a basic setup and a local user and I am looking at the bigger picture. as for the user/group of firefox, yes it was irrelevant and was one of the obscure attempts at being funny which not surprisingly Aaron missed - as I said earlier in the thread, geleem seems to make comments that are too obtuse for many readers on this list.
