I installed podsleuth as some forums say to do, then it says I need to 'add haldaemon to plugdev'... problem is I have no idea what that means nor do I have a clue how to do that... Anyone know?

I'd like to echo this question because I'm in the same situation.

I have a haldaemon group but no haldaemon user and I don't have a plugdev group that I can see... do I really need to add a new user for this purpose? Any pointers would be much appreciated!
