Re: [SLE] Why did you change the CDROM assignment SuSE? SOLVED!

Even though I was a member of the group 'disk', which I thought would give me
group rw rights to /dev/hdd, I discovered that I was wrong. Being in the 'disk'
group didn't give me rw access. I discovered this by accident when, as root,
I was testing out a fresh copy of cdparanoia. It worked! So, I tried the old copy
and it worked to! Suddenly, Grip could see the CDROM.
So, Chris, I added a+rw to /dev/hdd and I can use Grip as me. Thanks!
Now I have to go back and see what it is about group priviledges that I don't
understand.
Anyone got a pair of functioning neurons they can sell me? My pair seems to
have broken down and the replacement factory has shut down too!

group rw rights to /dev/hdd, I discovered that I was wrong. Being in the 'disk'
group didn't give me rw access. I discovered this by accident when, as root,
I was testing out a fresh copy of cdparanoia. It worked! So, I tried the old copy
and it worked to! Suddenly, Grip could see the CDROM.
So, Chris, I added a+rw to /dev/hdd and I can use Grip as me. Thanks!
Now I have to go back and see what it is about group priviledges that I don't
understand.
Anyone got a pair of functioning neurons they can sell me? My pair seems to
have broken down and the replacement factory has shut down too!
