| |
Hi all!
I have a small question: What do I have to do, to let the ioctl CDROM_SEND_PACKET work as a non-root user under 2.6.11?
I try to burn a DVD with growisofs as a non-root user without success.
I know that there were some changes about access restriction (since 2.6.8), but I haven't found anything to get a clue about the current status.
So is it just impossible to send a packet to the DVD burner without root access? Do I have to use a wrapper that sets the effective user id to root and then runs growisofs?
It's friday, so sorry for that stupid question, but a comment on that would be fine :)
Regards, Martin
