I'm using the cd-record pro DVD version 1.11a21. I'm using it under the personal use license that is given inside the README file at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/ProDVD/. I run this on Red Hat 7.3.
I just changed my hostname and now the cdrecord program is no longer operational. I just run "cdrecord -version" and it drops core. When I try to burn something I get an alarm failure and it aborts around the 8 second mark. If I take the CDR_SECURITY variable out of my profile I noticed that it runs but it restricts me to the 1GB demo license. What can I do to get cdrecord back up and working?
