using cdrecord as non-root - no luck! :( - users - Fedora mailing-lists

9 Oct 2003


      Hi.
I am growing a beard trying to figure out why I cannot burn CDs from a
non-root user.
I've tried changing permissions on /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1.  I've setuid and
guid on /usr/bin/cdrecord.  I've used 'sudo'.
And still... I get the following error messages!
Yet, I can burn as root on the cmdline.  Can anyone PLEASE help me with
this.  :(
