Using ide-scsi devices as a regular user?
I'm having trouble both ripping from a CDRW using grip and using cdrecord as a standard user. I know this is a common problem. What's the best way to fix this, though, other than doing these things as root? Preston

In you are using a SCSI CD-ROM (even one emulated through ide-scsi), you need to add permissions to the generic SCSI device: chmod a+rw /dev/sg0 Next, make these programs SUID: chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/gcd chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/grip Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam?
