Hi,

since Linus's changes to the 2.6.8.1 kernel cdrecord doesn't work
anymore when used by a non-root user even if its permissions are
set SUID root.
Does anybody know about patches to cdrecord and/or the kernel source
to make this possible again? I do need the recent kernel (currently
2.6.11).
1 - set the group of the burner to dvd (or any other unique name)
2 - set the permissions for the group to rw (chmod g+rw /dev/dvd)
3 - make everyone who should burn a member of the group
4 - don't use ide-scsi with recent 2.6 kernels
