I burn CDs all the time as a regular user, and it is indeed suid root here. At least in Debian -land this is the case, and it's been a while since I ran cdrecord on non-Debian systems. To the OP - you can, I suppose, chmod the /usr/bin/cdrecord to regular non-suid (chmod 750 /usr/bin/cdrecord). I notice the permissions here for it are -rwsr-xr-- implying that others can read the binary, but not execute it. (2754 in #s). OTOH, you may be coastering your CD in the process if you do this (as a user, that is). Try it on a CD-RW. It may be that it's just more speed sensitive than before, not certain. > Glenn English > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
