I just upgraded to cdrecord version 2.01+01a01-2.[1] I found that with permissions -rwsr-xr-- on /usr/bin/cdrecord [2] that I was able to record a CD without having to become root first using dev=/dev/hdc and kernel 2.6.10 [3].
Do any others still have problems burning CD's as non-root with kernels >= 2.6.8 or shall I close the bug? [1] Straight from the archive. I did not applying redhat's patch in debian bug #267273, and it does not appear to have been applied by the maintainer. [2] I don't recall whether these permissions are default for cdrecord, so I'm mentioning them here to make sure [3] Compiled from the vanilla kernel.org sources. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
