> SCSI CDB bytes: > 0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ................ > SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl failed: Permission denied The xmcd program is opening the CD-ROM device read-only. The SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl requires read/write privileges since it it can't tell what the commands being submitted to the device do. Here is a contrived example: an application where as root you lock a CD in place using PREVENT REMOVAL and then someone with read access uses ALLOW REMOVAL and EJECT. This was fixed soon after the driver change to require this but the fix doesn't seem to have made it into the standard xmcd distribution. If you can find out where the open in the source is you can just add write permissions. Peter
