Jörg Are you saying I can only use rscsi as user root on the client machine even though cdrecord is setuid root on the client machine?
As root I get: jever:/home/andree# cdrecord dev=REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -scanbus -d dev: REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED] speed: 4 fs: 4194304 Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: 'REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' devname: 'REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' scsibus: -1 target: -1 lun: -1 scg__open(REMOTE:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) -1,-1,-1 Warning: Using remote SCSI interface. cdrecord: locuser: 'root' rscsiuser: 'rscsi' host: '192.168.1.1' Permission denied. cdrecord: Success. Cannot get connection to remote host. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. I have added root to .rhosts on the server machine and I can logon using rsh/rlogin without password to account rscsi no problem. So, why do I get 'Permission denied.' and in the next line 'cdrecord: Success. [...]'? I don't normally only use ssh and don't have rshd installed. Is there a chance to get it to work with ssh and without having to be root on the client system.
