Of course. Despite keeping a manual event log, I have found no correlations. However, I did find a clue: $ ls -l /dev/sr0 changes to coincide with the random ejects (tray opens), but only sometimes! Other times, it changes without an eject. I rarely use the device. What would be the simplest way to safely disable it in a start-up script? > But ... since there is nothing in the logs, and nothing in the archives > that indicates (to me, anyway) that you have a fault somewhere in your > computer.

That, of course, is why I came here. 8-) Chris, I really appreciate your responding.
