Re: [SLUG] CD R/RW
I presume you're using xcdroast. It prompts you to set it up on first use. Setup includes making a list of users who can use it. Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Which burner program are you using, and on which distribution ? The version of xcdroast that comes with Mandrake 9 has a non-root user option that it asks you about the first time it starts up. I've not looked into it in detail, but you can specify which users on which hosts are allowed to burn. The furthest I've got in testing this out is to enable it and to configure it so my username can burn a CD, I haven't actually tried to burn the CD as non-root. :-) cheers, Chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBPiNjLI1yjaOTJg85AQGjagf/S8uozKxSPbBz7deKbN+uSm1F2iCpdnKP dYbJzFfxn7jvAkfTi8zCnS86LaXXbKfwPWjy3rjFcotc9/AE//IMxEVXh57vjsf4 ziTxv7JAruh/3c3T19HF7lsUknoNQVWt+Uj+zFTHXhFbdSUAkcRAyRv5x7o5ZkDV /OQqcDM5hYsoIkRWAVjU2sVSQwy5sqc+pB13sz7/UNF90Um3z1w4pXq78dsEqUvl 49wk9ygwl9Y1MSAT3dE/F+1/TKSs6jF2hWLqv79ho5aq8cV+wVbtvbHLr4HviI5K abFzdXyt3sJkMBAe+ICbUVPg8m5ZSZespc8cRHQAGo8TzS2d4z0EHQ== =Xfpo -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

The problem I have is that when other users go to burn a CD they are asked for the ROOT password. This password is extremely dangerous in MY hands so I don't wish to put the world in further danger by sharing it with my kids. Can anybody tell me how to fix this so that anyone can use the burner. I can't find anything in the documentation. I am using RH8. Check the group the specific device is in (ls -l /dev/s*). If you are luck your distribution would have arranged things so all you have to do is add people to /etc/group with the same name and it'll work.

Re: [SLUG] CD R/RW
for RH 8.0, if it's xcdroast you're using, it uses cdrecord to do the burning, so for me: # l /usr/bin/cdrecord 308 -rws--x---1 root xcdwrite 308809 Nov 26 22:01 /usr/bin/cdrecord so find the group called xcdwrite is /etc/group and add whatever users you want, eg. # grep xcdwrite /etc/group xcdwrite:x:502:fred,bill Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
