Hi,
By default only members of the administrator group have the privilege
required to add drivers. Note that plug and play drivers run in the same
shared memory space as the other critical drivers.
If you want users to be able to be able to install new Plug and Play
drivers, you need to grant the designated users the SeLoadDriverPrivilege. I
would suggest not granting this privilege to all users, but instead grant
this privilege to a user during interactive login and then remove the
privilege from the user during logout. This could be done using logon and
logout scripts, which you will be able to configure when SIPB has a
container and deathtongue is in the new container.

Subject: usb devices and deathtongue
A user came to the sipb office this morning trying to pull some
files off of a digital camera with a USB interface.
He plugged the camera into deathtongue, and received a dialog box
telling him that he didn't have permission to install hardware
devices.
I sent him over to the Macintosh, but I'm sending this note to
ask if there is any way to allow users to connect personal
storage devices to deathtongue. USB keychains, card readers, or
cameras are fairly popular nowadays, and it seems it would be
helpful if WinAthena machines could read disks that users have.
