David, You do not want to make the user part of the "disk" group, unless of course you want to take the chance of killing your hard drive setup and other nasty things! Plus if someone wanted to attack your user with a virus or something, they would have access to the "disk" group also! Not a good idea and not recommended. Do you have rw permissions for both owner and group on /dev/sg0?
What are you /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrecorder linked too? My KSCD settings for cdrom is /dev/cdrom which is linked to /dev/sr0. ~> ls -l /dev/sg0 crw-rw---- 1 root cdrecording 21, 0 2002-09-09 16:24 /dev/sg0
cdrecording group was created by k3b, so if you are not using that program, you may not even have a cdrecording group. Use "audio" group then for it.

Thanks Patrick, I have now removed disk from my user. My KSCD setting for cdrom is /dev/sr0. Ls -l > crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 0 2002-04-12 10:42 /dev/sg0

I am not sure of how to check for links though. David
=======================
You can do that the same way, ls -l /dev/cdrom. Mine shows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2002-12-06 19:44 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
Notice the arrow pointing to the /dev/sr0? That's telling you what /dev/cdrom is linked too. Ok, I think all you need do now is make /dev/sg0 & /dev/sg1 part of the audio group and make sure you are in the audio group as well as user. If you only have one drive you can do just the one, but I do both sg0 & sg1 the same, so I can use either drive for audio cds. To change the groups using the gui rather than in a shell, I just start up a Konq session as root. You should have a selection for File Manager - Super User in your menu or you can open a shell and type "kdesu konqueror" to start it as root. Go to /dev/, find your sg0 & sg1 icons, right click, select Properties>Permissions tab and change the group from disk to audio!

Hello Patrick,
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2003-04-08 19:31 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 dbtrol@linux:~> ls -l /dev/scd0 brw------- 1 dbtrol users 11, 0 2002-04-12 10:42 /dev/scd0 dbtrol@linux:~>
I am really confused now. David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+lZUO3VVncqMjOZsRAq3zAJ90Ec549lE9vxpPpvIkwsOfh/+g8gCfQA/4 UPPi29Stznusuk2GS3PFd2s= =thFE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
