2.6.11: CDROM_SEND_PACKET as non-root?

[Martin Zwickel]

Hi all!

I have a small question:
What do I have to do, to let the ioctl CDROM_SEND_PACKET work as a
non-root user under 2.6.11?

I try to burn a DVD with growisofs as a non-root user without success.

I know that there were some changes about access restriction (since
2.6.8), but I haven't found anything to get a clue about the current
status.

So is it just impossible to send a packet to the DVD burner without root
access? Do I have to use a wrapper that sets the effective user id to
root and then runs growisofs?


It's friday, so sorry for that stupid question, but a comment on that
would be fine :)

Regards,
Martin
