Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:2.01+01a03-2
Severity: important
Hi.
Each time I upgrade the system (and "cdrecord" is updated), I get into
problems writing CDs. I use "cdrecord" through "k3b"; I've just tried
to blank a CD-RW and got the following error message ("k3b" log):

>From the above, "cdrecord" seems to complain that it is not suid-root.
[Or is the problem somewhere else?]
So I used 'dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord' to make it suid. I restarted "k3b"
which itself then complained that "cdrecord" *is* suid root (stressing
that newer kernels won't accept to run it for security reasons).
Does that mean that "cdrecord" and hence "k3b" can only be run as root?
>From explanations given by "dpkg-reconfigure" as well as by "k3b", it
would seem that belonging to the "cdrom" group should be enough to be
able to burn CDs!
So, what is exactly the recommended setting?
Best regards,
Gilles
