Ok, I tracked down the problem, sort of. I can't use cdparanoia on the cdwriter (ide-scsi) as a normal user, but it works fine as root. This is the message I get:

I did a chmod a+r /dev/sr0 but it didn't help. How can I enable the proper access for normal users to this device?
Thanks Hans
Hello, You need to change the permissions for the program cdparanoia. I believe that it is in the /usr/bin directory. I had to set it suid root in order for me to get it to work but I'm sure others on this list can probably tell you how to get it to work without doing it suid root. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
