You probably want > to set the permissions on /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap. Good points. OTOH, I always thought that suid on shell scripts was just unsupported (i.e., script is run without extra permissions by the kernel). Also, this script (and /usr/bin/cdrecord is a script here as well) it only chooses the proper cdrecord to run, based on the kernel version (cdrecord.shm for kernels 2.0 & 2.2, and cdrecord.mmap for others). So the effective permissions are on the cdrecord.mmap executable. > Dwayne C. Litzenberger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
