As Luigi Rizzo wrote: > I am trying to allow non-root accounts to use CD-R devices. The rtprio there is probably overly paranoid. In my original scripts, i forgot to add the rtprio to the dd part of the pipeline, and i've been using it this way for quite a long time without any problem. :) (Note that this made the rtprio basically meaningless, since it only applied to the unimportant disk-reading team process, but not to the important CD-R writing dd.) At any rate, if you insist on the rtprio, write a setuid Perl script. That's the simplest solution, and it doesn't even require any additional software (like sudo). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
