I'm writing on-list so others can correct me if I'm mistaken. Here's what I think should happen on installation of k3b: - Find out which devices are related to CD writers and readers. - If they're not already, ask if their group should be set to cdrom. - If permissions and group of programs used by k3b (cdrecord, cdrdao, ...) are not suitable, ask if they should be changed to appropriate values (group cdrom, but which permissions exactly?). - If allowed, apply the changes using dpkg-statoverride. - Display a list of users (whose home dirs are in /home) and allow to add them to group cdrom. This list should also be shown when upgrading and the list of users has changed. Notify that users added latter may have to be added to group cdrom manually. I think(!) these are the required permissions and group root cdrom 4750 /usr/bin/cdrecord root cdrom 4710 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm root cdrom 4710 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap root cdrom 4710 /usr/bin/readcd root cdrom 4710 /usr/bin/cdrdao /usr/bin/cdrecord is a shell script and thus apparently has to be group readable in order to be group executable. > -"improve" k3bsetup2 > -both ? : Maybe it would be the solution. k3bsetup2 doesn't fit in well with a debian setup. That said, I'd feel uneasy just leaving it out. Some suggestions - Replace the generic message on the left hand side with something more debian specific. Something like "No need to fiddle with this. Use dpkg-reconfigure instead." - Enable "Use burning group" and set the default to cdrom. - For permissions and group align the settings k3bsetup2 suggests to do with the debianly correct ones (see above).
