I have had problems with various software Joerg has written when not running as root. He was either unable to make it work as a normal user, or unwilling to document the tricks required to make it work (I can believe that last, even when you understand it various systems have odd ideas of how to do group permissions). Unless rscsi is uid=0 you will have to be very sure that the permissions work. And if the program requires to set as a realtime process I believe you may really have to run as root. I have often wondered if the RT solution is to have a realtime *group* so that a process need not be running as root. Call it a limitation, it's not a bug because it works as intended. Perhaps Joerg will recognize this, I do something else for remote burn. Question: Is it possible to change the speed of the CD on-the-fly without making a coaster? I doubt it, it seems obvious to do that if the FIFO starts getting low. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
