There is nothing wrong with xcdroast. It's totaly ok in Mandrake 7.2. Let's
look a bit further at the problem. Xcdroast needs cdrecord which when we
check is installed in /usr/bin. The permissions on cdrecord look like this:
-rwsr-s--- 1 root cdwriter 166780 Oct 2 22:57 cdrecord*
What do we learn from this. Only root or a member of the cdwriter group is
allowed to use cdrecord. So the fix is simple. Make everyone who needs to
use cdrecord a member of the cdwriter group.
