Yes, it's not the same, I'll grant you that. He's got it readable/executable by everyone and I don't. Mine's readable and writeable by root, executable by group xcdwrite, with suid root. Changing it's perms to -rws------ renders it not executable by me as user. Having it readable by group seems to be not relevant. > >>>I had to do a 'chmod +s' myself.

The permissions I've listed are correct (I thought maybe I transcribed something wrong). I can run it, and it lists my 2 CD devices AND my ZIP drive. I didn't feel like typing out the output, or capturing it to a file, scp'ing it here and copying it to the e-mail message. No, permissions on cdrecord are NOT the problem. It's device permissions somewhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
