From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: for systems that have ATAPI CD drives that are emulating SCSI devices, access to the drive via the /dev/sg* devices is initially restricted to the root account. it would be helpful if a couple of additional lines were added to /etc/security/console.perms, as in: <scsi>=/dev/sg[0-9]* <console> 0600 <scsi> 0600 root this would make the CD drive accessible to the lone non-priv user who happens to be using the machine, if i read the console.perms file correctly. i tried it, and it seems to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install RH 8.0 2.try to access CD-ROM as a non-root user via, say, cdrecord 3.watch it fail Actual Results: access to CD-ROM works only for root account until console.perms file is modified Additional info:
Instead, it does /dev/cdrwriter* and kudzu sets up appropriate links for CD writer devices that are found
