RE: [LUG] XCDRoast




This is only a stab in the dark as I don't have a machine I can try it on to
hand, but...

I've only ever written to CD's as root, I don't think I've ever tried it any
other way.

from looking at the permissions on /dev/scd0

[root at moe /dev]# ls -l scd0
brw-rw----    1 root     disk      11,   0 Aug 24  2000 scd0

It seems it is owned by the disk group.  it's quite possible then (as the
group permissions are rw-) that if you add the user in  question to the disk
group (in /etc/group) that the user will then have enough permissions to the
scsi device to burn a cd.

This is just an idea though.

Alex.
