[clug] cdrom and groups

[Tony and Robyn Lewis]

Feeling kinda silly, but this has been bugging me for a few days now.  I
can't use cdparanoia (or ripperx) unless I'm root, but as far as I can
tell, all the group permissions should allow me to.

Transcript below shows that I'm in group cdrom, but cdparanoia fails to
find the cdrom unless I'm root.  I even logged back out and into X in
the Windows-esqu off-chance that it would help.  Shoulda had more faith
:-)

What am I doing wrong?

Tony

Found an accessible SCSI CDROM drive.
Looking at revision of the SG interface in use...
        SG interface version 3.1.25; OK.

CDROM model sensed sensed: MITSUMI CR-48XCTE 1.0B 

Checking for SCSI emulation...
        Drive is ATAPI (using SCSI host adaptor emulation)

Checking for MMC style command set...
        Drive is MMC style
        DMA scatter/gather table entries: 256
        table entry size: 32768 bytes
        maximum theoretical transfer: 3566 sectors
        Setting default read size to 13 sectors (30576 bytes).

Verifying CDDA command set...
        Expected command set reads OK.
