Hi!

Why is this?

[askwar@teich RPM]$ which mkisofs 
/usr/bin/mkisofs
[askwar@teich RPM]$ ls -la $(which mkisofs)
-rwxr-s---    2 root     cdwriter   323036 Mär  2 12:25 /usr/bin/mkisofs*
[askwar@teich RPM]$ rpm -qf $(which mkisofs )
mkisofs-1.13-5mdk

That is, why is mkisofs not executable by anyone?  What harm can possibly be
done by running mkisofs?  And also, what is it set gid for?  And last, why
is it owned by group cdwriter, and not group root, like about anything else?
