xmcd local database



Hi,

I just installed xmcd. It is able to query remote databases to find info
on the CD's I insert, but it can't save the information.

The about box shows:

  CD Database paths:
     /var/xmcd/rock
	  /var/xmcd/jazz
	  ...
	  cddbp://cddb.sonic.net:888

Here are the permissions on /var/xmcd/rock:

  drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Apr  5  1998 rock/

I think xmcd is setuid root, but according to the docs, it gives up root
privileges before writing the database:

  -rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root       230428 Apr  5  1998 /usr/bin/X11/xmcd*

Should I make the /var/xmcd directories writeable by everyone, or is
there a better solution?
