Description Marcin Kurek 2005-11-09 03:28:58 UTC

Some time ago I noticed then cdrecord stops working as normal user. As I still
can burn CD's as root my normal user can't do that. cdrecord fails with a error
message about fail to allocate SCSI buffer as I remember correctly this problem
was introduced by one of the recent kernel, but I was sure it's solved already.
Have I right ?

It seems to be related to SUID bit on the cdrecord executable, when I remove it
cdrecord starts to work normaly. But many burning programs suggest me to have
this bit set.

Currently I use kernel 2.6.14, can this be caused by it ?

Try with 2.01-r3 (which is the latest stable version, those alphas are known to
be  badly broken. Reopen if it still fails for you w/ stable app-cdr/cdrtools.
Thanks.
