su to root then use cdrecord scanbus
or
add yourself to the wheel group, then do 'sudo cdrecord scanbus'
or
(most unsecure option) su to root, chmod +s /usr/local/bin/cdrecord,
exit root, cdrecord is now usable by 'regular' user's.

devfs.conf silliness??
Hi all. can someone please explain this to me: /etc/devfs.conf # examples, blah # my devices/perms/etc perm mdctl 0660 own mctl user:operator [/code] I can create md* without any issues, but if I add this: [code] perm md* 0660 own md* user:operator --OR-- perm md0 0660 own md0 user:operator [/code] it defaults to root:operator when I do say mdconfig -a -t vnode -f example.iso , and I'm unable to mount it without either becoming root, or mounting it with sudo, which I thought was the point of devfs.conf in the first place (to set userland permissions on devices so that non root users could mount/dismount them if needed)? is thier some undocumented .conf or sysctl variable that I'm just not finding, or is devfs.conf fundamentally broken for 'dynamic' devices (ie: it can't understand wildcards, or even handle me plugging in or creating another device, i.e:USB keyfob , or mounting a ISO image, while the machine is up and running)? thanks! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi Andy:
This is gonna be a bit long, but this is what I do every time for
mplayer:
1. Kernel Config: (This is for an AMD AthlonXP 2100+, make
changes/adjustments as necessary)
options CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU
options CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK
options CPU_ENABLE_SSE
2. install /usr/ports/x11/nvidia
make -DWITH_FREEBSD_AGP install clean
kldload nvidia
add these lines to /boot/loader.conf:
linux_load="YES" (presuming that you've installed 'linux_base')
nvidia_load="YES"
3. Download rp8_linux_20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm from www.real.com (don't
forget, GOOGLE is your friend)
copy this to /usr/ports/distfiles
4.cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
make WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=yes WITH_GUI=yes WITH_FREETYPE=yes
WITH_XVID=yes WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_MAD=yes WITH_AALIB=yes
WITH_SDL=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_REALPLAYER=yes WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes
WITH_FAAD=yes WITH_XMMS=yes install clean
most of the options above have autodetect flags so if you have some of
the above then you can skip it
5. DO NOT RUN MPLAYER yet
6. install fonts
#cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-fonts
#make install clean
(select 8859-1)
7. configure mplayer for user:
as a user (not root)
#cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
#make install-user
8. next copy following files to ~/.mplayer
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config
#cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/input.conf ~/.mplayer
9. FINAL STEPS FOR USER CONFIG
#cd ~/.mplayer
create directory for skins
#mkdir Skin (THIS IS THE NAME OF DIR DONT MAKE ANY OTHER)
10. download mplayer skins from
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
don't use the port, it's got some rather strange bugs in the installer
11. unpack skins to the directory you created ~/.mplayer/Skin
you should also download and install the default skin
12. make sure that these lines in ~/.mplayer/config file are
uncommented:
vo=xv
fs=yes
comment out the following line at the end of ~/.mplayer/config file:
#include = /home/gabucino/.mplayer/i_did_not_RTFM_carefully_enough...
13. Your almost done
14. run
#gmplayer
you should see your mplayer gui now.
extra stuff
15. Install mplayer-plugin for mozilla from
/usr/ports/www/mplayer-plugin (can break, ymmv)
this will allow you to play quicktime movies from mozilla
test for mozilla plugin:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/newli..._towers-teaser/
select small from watch it now panel (small loads faster) you should see
and hear trailer. There is no plugin for realplayer so *rm files will
invoke it as separate instance.
Except downloading realplayer to ../.../distfiles you do not need to
get or install anything before installing mplayer. Test realplayer
alone to see if it works (for me it does). You will be also able to
listen WMP streaming files (mozilla should open small extra window -
empty), and watch DVD/VCD/SVCD's
one more thing:
I dont have ANY sound daemons running. The above setup works on
Asus A7V333/R with an nVIDIA GeForc

Hi. I have the same card running under 5.1 release p10, but I don't
believe that 4.8 has cardbus support. 4.9rc might, I haven't been paying

However, if kern.securelevel is set to anything but '-1', and kernsecurelevel_enable is set to "YES" in rc.conf, your not going to get in without some good, old fashioned hacking. Seeing as it was never mentioned what either or both of the previous settings are, we both are shooting in the dark here. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
