NO!!!!! Adding an user to the "disk" group will give him low-level read and write permissions to all IDE devices. That said, he can either by accident, or (if it is a non-private box) voluntarily overwrite the whole hd with the "dd" command. Better way is: find out which device actually is the cdrom device[1], then [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown root.audio /dev/<cddevice> [EMAIL PROTECTED] addgroup user audio This will allow the user called "user" to low-level-read the cdrom device, but not the hard drives. joerg [1] If you can mount data cdroms with "mount /cdrom", then the link /dev/cdrom points to the "real" cdrom device. In most cases this will be /dev/hdc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2003-01-16 16:31 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
