Permissions required for burning

["Christian Pernegger" <pernegger@gmail.com>]

Hi list!

What exactly are the minimum permissions required for a user to be
able to use a CD/DVD burner?

The thing is, burning works fine with a Plextor 716A on amd64-sid with
the user in the cdrom group and no suid anywhere, but a LiteOn
SOHC-5232K on i386-testing causes both k3b and the nautilus cd burning
component to abort with a generic error right at the start of the
burning progress. (The disk is not touched by this.)

I suid-root-ed cdrdao and cdrecord as suggested by k3b, which works,
but is obviously just a workaround.

On a related note, k3bsetup does not work on any of my machines - it
just shows an empty window with a few buttons at the bottom. I don't
use kde ortherwise, so I guess I'm missing some packages?

Thanks,

C.
