All I see is:

  Access to...
	CD-ROM drives
	floppy drives
	Modem devices
	tape drives
  Connect to internet through modem devices
  Enable access to external storage devices automatically
  Monitor system logs
  Send and recieve faxes
  Use audio device
  Use scanner device

Let me confirm this.

System->Administration->Users and Groups-><Select
User>->Properties->User Privileges

Correct?  I'm on hoary, last update an hour ago.

    Creative brains are a valuable, limited resource. They shouldn't be
    wasted on re-inventing the wheel when there are so many fascinating
    new problems waiting out there.
