No; doing so can lead to security holes and increases in update frequency, which is more work all around. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Epiphany/1.2.4 Description of problem: I think the default behaviour of xcdroast in fedora (that it's run as root by default) has a reason: cdrecord needs to be run as root to give as much protection against buffer underruns as possible. AFAIK that's because it needs to be able to set realtime scheduling priority. The k3b package that's in rawhide now doesn't even have k3bsetup which could make cdrecord setuid root automatically. Maybe k3b should be run as root by consolehelper? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): k3b-0.11.9-3 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn a CDR with k3b 2. Heavy disc access (I installed kdebase with yum, for example) can cause a buffer underrun Additional info:
