I'm guessing your desktop session gave you the right to access the cdrom but that doesn't apply to the hardware on the system in general, and it wouldn't apply if you had logged in via ssh, or if there were more than one desktop session running on your system.
No, file permissions give you rights, not desktop sessions. I can certainly ssh in and perform the same action.
But you have to admit, there's no doubt root will have the access rights...
This statement is fluff. Root is root and has *all* rights! Please, trim your posts and refrain from *top* posting. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn4472 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHHXNwClSjbQz1U5oRAn4eAJ4w8ax2FuyXf2xui5++0AKw80KEFQCeNJVj ClgN6fpanMJAAfzLFIsAOT4= =9Bze -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
