K3b k3b uses the cdrecord command line tool to do its work, iirc. You don't need to run k3b as root, just make cdrecord setuid. Which is exactly how the cdrecord author has always told people to use it. If you want to limit who can use cdrecord, change it's group and remove execute permissions for 'others'. Then only people in the group (or root) can execute cdrecord, and because its setuid root, it'll always work. -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc.
