I know we have been going back and forth about how some can't burn CDs as a
normal user but rather, only as root.
I did post a workaround in an earlier thread some weeks ago. It was to
simply upgrade cdrecord from packman's site and set perms on cdrecord and
cdrdao to run as root. That solved all my problems...

Anyway, thought I would dig into the root of the problem instead of taking
that route on this new install I just did. Same external Iomega CDRW
(predator) USB drive. I had the same problem with a fresh SuSE 9.1 pro
install with all patches from YOU applied; I could only burn as root.

Here was my fix:

** In /etc/fstab add "users" to the options for /dev/cdrom
** In /etc/resmgr.conf add "scsi" to the "add /dev/cdrom" line to look like
this "add /dev/cdrom desktop paride scsi"

Worked like a champ after that.

Note: Not sure if the fstab mods were needed or not. The modification of
fstab alone did not resolve the problem. It wasn't until I fixed up
resmgr.conf and booted that I was able to burn as a user.

Hope this helps someone else with external USB burners.

Regards,
Keith Burgess

P.S. I dug the net like crazy for documentation on resmgr and came up empty.
Might look at the source shortly to see if I can understand the options in
resmgr.conf and what they do.
