Yup, root has to explicitly allow a dialout account. Also cdrom,
floppy and all the usual suspects. X works for users.
At least one gets the chance to choose. And you can change it globally
again later. hehe.. scares me.

I hope its not so high you have to login as root to dialout also. Just saying that more security can be as bad as none. The user will possibly just log in as root since they might not know how to fix it so they can use thier computer.
