how to allow everyone access to burner

How can I set it up so everyone can burn, using xcdroast, the burner. Right now it only allows root to run this program and burn cds. It's red hat 6.2

Thanks!

Does your cdrecorder have the "user" option set in /etc/fstab (i.e. can a normal user mount the cdrecorder?)

Something like (change the device and mountpoint, obviously)
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
Should do it.

Then try it. I suppose if that doesn't work you could try SUID'ing xcdroast, but that isn't recommended and shouldn't be necessary.

Cheers
