In the past so many years cdrecord has always worked for me, but I haven't tried their latest version. > >What "security holes" are you talking about? > I tought that I did already mention it.

Your alternative requires cdrecord to be SUID root, which from my point of view (not knowing the details about either) isn't any safer than resmgr (programmed by a professional + paid security person). IMHO it isn't worth kicking up a security scare about, especially when that scare is accompanied by a complete nought of facts.
