Hi Daniel, I just stumbled across this bug whilst looking into an issue with the mondo package that I maintain and writing DVDs under sudo which does not work because of the situation described in this bug.
I believe that rather than applying a patch as suggested by LaMont, all that would be required is to specify -DI_KNOW_ALL_ABOUT_SUDO when compiling. This has been in since version 5.20 according to the changelog in growisofs.c. Other than that, it is really a matter of policy, I guess. And it appears that upstream by providing the above define implicitly acknowledges that three may be an issue. Best regards, Andree -- Andree Leidenfrost Sydney - Australia
