Since some apps like k3b complain about the fact that cdrecord is not running with root privileges... Request the suid flag to prevent k3b complaining about this and/or the need to manually change the perms. Thanks Reproducible: Always
No. You shouldn't need suid for this at all (k3b definitely works perfectly fine without it); if it doesn't work for you, then either complain upstream or try app-cdr/cdrkit
