I'm having an access permission problem with my cd-rw drive. I switched
it to ide-scsi (added hdc=ide-scsi to boot parameters) and now I can
write to the drive with cdrecord, but only as root. Similarly, I can
only rip tracks from the drive as root. I can mount data cd's and read
them as a regular user (configured "user" in fstab). Before I switched
to ide-scsi, I could rip cd's just fine as a regular user with group
"cdrom" premissions. /dev/scd0 has read/write permissions for group
"cdrom", but still I can only use grip, cdrecord as root. Anyone know
how to fix this? Thnx.
Cheers,
Tim
P.S. Hmmm... just noticed that all /dev/sg* devices have only root
permissions... should I chgrp them to "disk" and add group rw
permissions? Create a "scsi" group?
