Are you sure, Dave? grep dial /etc/group
Not quite sure what you're asking.
Yes, the dialout group is present in /etc/group. No the dialout group is not listed by YaST.
Cheers, Dave
PS Andrei has solved my problem with the app by using the command line, but I'd still like to understand why I failed with YaST.
OK. Here it is: When approached from the user tab, filter "System Users", the dialout group is not listed. When approached from the group tab, filter "System Groups" it is. Tick it, click Edit and check your user in the right column.
Ah, thanks. I now see that I can also Edit my user and then if I click on the Groups tab, I can indeed see a list of all groups (or at least the ones I'm interested in). It wasn't obvious to me at first that the tab headings changed and meant something different after I clicked on Edit. It seems to me that it might be easier to understand if the editing area was a subwindow rather than taking over the whole window, but I'm no UI expert.
