Hallo,

When I run cdrecord -scanbus as root I get:root@duinheks:~# cdrecord -scanbus

cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/hda'. Cannot open or use SCSI
driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are 
root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

What's happening here? My system is built from SlackWare 12.1 and
/dev/hda is a normal IDE hard disk.
    
You need to run cdrecord with root privileges!
  

Did you read what he wrote? He clearly says "as root" in the very paragraph you quoted.
This can be done by reading ALL of what he wrote and understanding what it says.
You did not do that...
This can be done by calling it as root or by making it suid root.

You did not do that.......
