One more thing cdrtools required it to be run as root, isn't that dangerous. any method by which we give the required permissions to normal user?
There are two possible solutions:
1) Look at the turkish Linux distro that delivers a complete uncastrated Linux, create a linux distro that includes the needed features (make sure that these features cannot be unconfigured) and send me a version so I can start implementing support for fine grained privileges on Linux into cdrtools.
2) Continue to deliver a reduced Linux that does not give you the choice for a different solution and live with the consequences that force you to install cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav suid root in order to gain the needed privileges.
It is a Linux kernel issue (make menuconfig)? Or just a "install this package in order to fine control cdrtools privileges"?
