Except that on my system, you have to be root to use it.

Actually, I have a bunch of systems and they're all doing the same thing. 
Setting the setuid bit and adding the users to the cdrom group does not 
work. I have found that 'sudo cdrecord' works. So it *has* to be some kind 
of permissions problem.


cdrecord sucks. I just Did  this:

cdrecord -help | more

It just scrolled off the screen. I would assume it's because help goes to 
stderr and not stdout. Bogus.
