Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:2.01+01a03-5
I normally have cdrecord installed suid root, but this should not be
absolutely necessary on my system, as my device permissions allow me
to access the CD drives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ ls -l /dev/scd* /dev/sg*
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jun 5 14:05 /dev/scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Jun 5 14:05 /dev/scd1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 21, 0 Jun 5 14:05 /dev/sg0
crw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 21, 1 Jun 5 14:05 /dev/sg1
crw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 21, 2 Jun 5 14:05 /dev/sg2
The permissions on sg0 are correct since it is a hard drive. However,
it seems to cause cdrecord to fail on "-scanbus":
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ cdrecord -scanbus

If I reconfigure cdrecord to be suid root, the "-scanbus" completes
successfully:

I would suggest that cdrecord should skip the device that it is unable
to access, rather than aborting the scan.
FWIW, cdrdao has the same problem (and I'll file a separate bug for it).
Let me know if I can help somehow. Thanks.
