It is a limitation of Linux: the MTSETDRVBUFFER can only be done as root, regardless of the permissions on the tape device. I think it is just a warning, so should not prevent the sd from running. You could try starting the sd under strace to try to see if it fails with some other permission problem. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
