> 1) What are these mysterious devices /dev/sr0 and /dev/sg0

Hi
Any program that tries to access a SCSI (also an emulated one) cdro
uses /dev/srX to communicate with the drive and any program tha
tries to access a SCSI (also an emulated one) generic peripheral, a
a CD/DVD burner, uses /dev/sgX
If I remember correctly In Slack 10.1, Kernel 2.4.X, the defaul
permissions of these devices are root:cdrom for /dev/srX an
root:root for /dev/sgX
A possible solution to your problem might be: change /dev/sg
permissions in root:cdrom with "chown root:cdrom /dev/sgX" and ad
yourserlf to the group "cdrom" with "usermod -G cdrom USER"
I hope It will be useful
Regards
St
