That is the same thing k3b suggests, but Fedora has suppressed its system checking during compilation,
right?
In my case, I make cdrdao and cdrecord (wodim) suid (4755), but I am using cdrkit.
For burning an iso image using cdrecord (a symbolic link to wodim), just do:
cdrecord -v -eject speed=24 dev=/dev/cdrom some_file.iso
Works just fine.
Thanks for the info! Will yum update all of this or do I have to removeOn Sat, 2008-02-09 at 05:37 -0800, Antonio Olivares wrote:

cdrecord first? I just checked, I do have it installed. I just checked
again, I do not have cdrkit installed. (rpm -qa |grep cdrkit)
Thank again for bringing this to our attention. Ric
The author claims that cdrkit is buggy and based on an old version of cdrtools.
He always defended that burning should be done as root, and that cdrecord should be made suid.
