i had similar issues just *reading* a dvd as a normal user. turns out my dvd drive (/dev/hda) had permissions of root:disk 660 and my normal user wasn't in the disk group. this may be your case as well? -- here in america we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. as their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. - dwight d.
