But there are configuration files for hal which can change the way things are done, just one more configuration in /etc which the user can adjust. If you like a real solution, we would need to find a way to make the people who write hald from linux to become interested in fixing their bugs. I don't regard it as a bug that a program does what the configuration file or command line options request. In general a bug is an *unintended* behavior, but this appears not to be the case. While I think of configuration, could cdrtools have a option to NOT try and install setuid? If run as a normal user it lacks permissions to do the install at all, and if run as root it does something I don't want. Obviously I can get around it, but it is just one more thing to remember, since it installs by default in a tree where I definitely don't want setuid programs. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> "Woe unto the statesman who makes war without a reason that will still be valid when the war is over..."
