Scripting to automate changing membership? You'd probably, also, want
to script the user-adding routine for the future, to add new users to
the groups you use on your system.
You are making this way too hard. Even if I could figure it out, I
could never teach a part time lab assistant. I can't create an ever
more complicated chain of tools and scripts for things like this
because at some point an ordinary human will have to administer these
systems, possibly adding users with a Fedora tool like
system-config-users.
Is Fedora supposed to be a desktop distribution for users or not? How
in the HELL do the people who put fuse into the distribution expect
"ordinary" people to use it? I refuse to believe the makers of the
program expect it to be such a massive pain in the ass.
But, then again, I'm often surprised. I still can't get over the
difficulty of mounting drives when not root.
