grip and cdparanoia, must run suid?
I installed grip, but I can't run in unless I am root
(sudo, or suid). The error I get is 'can't access cd
rom drive'. My /dev/scd1 is owned by root, group is
cdrom. The drive is actually on /dev/hdc physically
but I am running scsi-ide emulation. I also have a
'real' scsi cdrom that is /dev/scd0. I added myself
to the cdrom group (edited /etc/group as root) and
logged out and back in as myself. No joy, still can't
run grip or cdparanoia (actually it was cdparanoia
that issued the error message). I did chmod +s on
cdparanoia and grip and then it worked. But I should
be able to access the cdrom if I'm in the cdrom group?
I can access my /dev/dsp device by adding myself to
the audio group (I don't think xmmm is suid, I can run
it as a user in the audio group).
Ideas?
