In contrary to cdrw, cdrecord gives you the choice....
For the cdrecord installation that currently comes with Solaris, Sun decided
that cdrercord should not have a default device. Sun could have told cdrecord
to behave the same way as cdrw does, by just adding
CDR_DEVICE=cdrom0
into /etc/default/cdrecord
For this reaon, I really don't understand the whole discussion. Cdrecord _is_
definitely easier to use than cdrw in case it would be configured to default
to the default CD-writer on the system. But note: things like this are highly
platform dependent. In this case they depend on the behavior of the Solaris
vold...
Also note that it is not my fault that Solaris currently comes with a
missconfigured /etc/securiity/* setup. I did send the needed setup for
cdrtools to the integrators and I don't know why this setup has not been
allowed to become part of Solaris.
As you see, it's not the only admin of a system but people from Sun who
could change the current situation.
