When running k3b I get an error stating that cdrecord did not exit properly. And k3b will not burn a cd.
Running cdrecord from the command line as such:
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdd speed=40 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data /home/fakeuser/cdimage.iso
I am met with a Segmentation fault. There is no other error obviously.
Any ideas? I'm running this as a regular user. Root does not encounter this problem. So the iso is perfectly fine.
What permissions does cdrecord need to be run as a regular user or should I be using sudo to burn a cd using cdrecord anyhow? Should cdrecord be suid?
There is a statement about burning CDs as a non-root user under 2.6.8+ kernels at the main page for cdrecord http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html
The summary version is: Burn CDs as root.

Thanks. However, running k3b as a regular user did at one time work, but that's really not much of an issue to me. I suppose then I should change cdrecord to run suid and that will solve my problem. Thanks for the linkage as well I'll read up on it.
