Package: k3b
Version: 0.12.17-2+b1
Severity: normal

k3b detects that cdrecord and cdrdao do not have suid set and prompts 
user to change their permissions using k3bsetup (see message below). Is 
this still necessary? If it is, then perhaps it would be better to suggest using
dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord and then seting suid. It's generally better to 
use debconf for system administration.

Also, is cdrdao really needed any more? Does k3b use it at all?


Best,
slaven

cdrecord will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root 
privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases 
the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows 
changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems 
could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr.
Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem.

cdrdao will be run without root privileges
It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges 
to increase the overall stability of the burning process.
Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem.
