I wholeheartedly agree, but on a private Linux system at home, it doesn't matter... just a bad habbit :) I would prefer to `chgrp cdrom /dev/hdd' and `vigr' to add the users to the cdrom group. This is also much more secure. Or use a program like 'xfusers', or mine 'xaccman' to get a GUI interface to add users to the member list. ...just me -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
