I have been impressed with Nautilus' CD burning capability in Fedora, but tried K3B anyway. K3B seems fine, but I find the need to configure users that are allowed to write cds a pain. We use NIS for authentication of a largish number of users (I know I know, but we are on a relatively secure network), so configuring a cd writer locally for this or that user is not a good idea. I do not know what exactly Nautilus does, but it successfully runs cdrecord for a normal user without cdrecord being suid root. Isn't this what every program should do? Permissions should be handled using the console.perms file so that whoever is logged on the local console has write access to the cd writer device. It seems to me to be the only sensible thing to do; if a person has physical access to the box, then suid root programs and cdwriting groups are pretty irrelevant security concerns, and burning CDs on a remote box over a network is probably not a good idea, because someone else could be using the box, do something intensive and cause the CD write to fail. So, why oh why does K3B require configuration as root to set up users/groups? Mikko
