I was a bit too quick posting this. It seems that "/dev/hdc" on the said system is in fact owned by "root:disk". This is wrong nonetheless. On my system I have... ls -al /dev/hd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 2006-04-09 02:31 /dev/hda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 2006-04-09 02:31 /dev/hda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 2 2006-04-09 02:31 /dev/hda2 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2006-04-09 02:31 /dev/hdc Are you sure your "/dev/hdc" is in fact a CD-ROM? If it is, you should "chown root:cdrom /dev/hdc" and add yourself to "cdrom" group. As I have already said, being in a "disk" group is very dangerous. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
