The default permission (RH 8.0) for /dev/cdrom is 300. Since I am the
owner of this file, as long as I am the user, making it 777 does not
make any difference in this case.

Aloha,
I haven't played much with this or any other cdripper, but... I recall that
default permissions on my cdrom drive have caused me trouble in the past.
Making the cdrom chmod 777 when combined with an appropriate set of
permissions in the fstab file fixed all my troubles without having to suid
any programs. For my own purposes, this was a better solution than fixing
all the programs. Essentially the only security change I had to worry about
was physical access to the cdrom drive as the software remained the same.
Could this or something similar work for cdparanoia? {I don't have a cd
burner, or I'd try it myself. }
