You also need to tweak the generic device, which is probably /dev/sga or /dev/sg0 or something along those lines. (And lives in a somewhat hard-to-find place if you're using devfs, but so does the normal device file that /dev/scd0 would be a symlink to.) Interestingly, you also need read access to the generic device to use cdparanoia. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
