What I would do is create named cdrw or what ever. Chmod that device to readable and writable by that group. This will give any one in that group access to it upon thier next login.

Section of the user manual, where (1) is user commands, (2) is system calls, (3) is C api, (4) is kernel devices, (5) is configuration file formats, (6) and (7) are not commonly used, and I can't remember exactly what they mean and finally (8) is system management commands. Usually I just use this to indicate a man page: so if I talk about sshd_config(5), you can pretty much just type: % man sshd_config and see what I'm on about. Sometimes the number is significant: to see the chown(2) man page you have to type: % man 2 chown because plain 'man chown' gets you the chown(8) man page. Cheers, Matthew PS. Actually (6) is games, and (7) is miscellaneous, as you can find out by looking at intro(6) and intro(7). -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgpUKFzi05Ls9.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: How to allow 'User-A' to burn CD
You will have to install the security/sudo port and read up on the sudoers(5) manual page and the visudo(8) application used to edit that file. What do these numbers (5) and (8) referring to. Page number? They refer to the section of the manual. To read them, issue these commands: man 5 sudoers man 8 visudo -ste ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Noted with thanks I only expect to allow 'User-A', not all users, to burn CD. I can # chmod 660 /dev/acd1 then all users can burn CD. User-A is alrady allowed to burn CD with $ su password: (root password) What I expect to change is to allow User-A $ su password : using his own password instead of 'root password' > You will have to install the > security/sudo port and read up > on the sudoers(5) manual page and the visudo(8) > application used to > edit that file.
