New user in FC3 cannot access audio & removable devices

[JuliaSpadova]

Hello everybody, I'm terribly sorry if this has been answered before, but looked through the forums and faqs and ddin't find a solution anywhere...
After a bit of fiddling I got my Fedora3 to work just perfect, except one detail - i would like to add a new user account for my husband, but the new user has no access to audio, cd recorder, floppy, etc. I tried both Users and Groups in gnome and useradd in console, tried adding various (in fact, all) groups to the new user, nothing helps. My standard user is member of no group except her own and everything works (and so it does for root, of course).
I think this has to do with udev, but I've absolutely no clue as for how to fix it.

Thanks, Julia
