Well, you are right, so I tried, :-). It works, so there is reason to be glad. However, I'm still wondering how paranoid I must be to still want cdrdao to run without setuid. Furthermore, without setuid and with group permissions or something like that I should be able to control which users may use the writer and which may not. So I will use this until I find something better... Thanks for the help, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
