Users do not have write permission by default to the directory that kscd uses as its local CDDB; this causes annoying error messages to be displayed every time an CD is inserted / remote CDDB is queried because kscd tries to write CDDB information to local database. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start RH8 with KDE as the default desktop. 2. Insert an audio CD.
