As wodim and other cd accessing tools live happily without any setuid bits or capabilities, you will have to convince us why you need them first.
Because cdrtools is not just about CDs. Tapes come to mind, but, let me not get into that, because I don't have that tech.
wodim is the result of a hostile and dumb downstream. Eduard Bloch has no clue on SCSI or cdrecord and removed the error messages and warnings that would inform users about problems that result from missing privileges. In addition, as cdrecord adopts itself on the capabilities of the target device, not all problems that result from missing privileges will result in a message - even on original software. I propose, that the decision on what to do should be done by experts that understand the topic. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
