So this is why I see those stupid "Cannot Prevent/Allow Medium Removal" errors when i use either cdrecord or cdrdao... Of course I knew it had something to do with the kernel upgrade (2.6.8.1) but I didn't see this in the changelog. Oh well, using "sudo" passwordless for this command only doesn't bother me: # allow all users of group cdrom to execute cdrdao passwordless: %cdrom ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/cdrdao,/usr/bin/cdrecord I guess some people would say: why not just use cdrecord/cdrdao in set- uid mode... But, there are a million reasons why not to use that and allow sudo access instead. Hope this helps somebody out there..
