I normally burn as root but want to allow users to do this also so i
tried what the gcombust doc says.
Here it won't work since /usr/bin/cdrecord is 755 own=root,grp=root
In other words, being a cdrom group will not help since only root
can start cdrecord. If you do 4755 it will work but according to the doc
this is a security issue and i cannot see why.
So somebody can invoke cdrecord on my computer, big deal. What am i
missing and how can you allow a normal user to execute cdrecord.
