Because root has access to everything, I suppose, just like on every other traditional Unix-ish system. Look at the permissions on /dev/sg* (or /dev/scsi/hostX/busY/targetZ/lunN/generic, if you're using devfs), and make sure that the user you're ripping as has permission to to read and write to that device. (Ripping with SCSI drives is done by issuing raw SCSI commands - you're using IDE-SCSI, so same thing applies.) -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
