The thing is one might have non-local users, I think it would be cleaner with a 'console' group for users with physical access. >> But, if you choose to keep it 0666 then there's still no point at using >> setgid or setuid on cdrdao or other software, since the device will be >> writable for everyone anyhow! > > Makes sense.

I suggest a generic console or a more specific cdrecord group, and making the device node owned by this group, and with mode 0660. If you choose 0666 anyway, then you can get rid of the cdrecord group and let the device be owned by 0.0. -- /Jonatan - http://kymatica.com _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
