[Bug 82082] Re: herd2. wodim couldn't be set suid.

[Schily]

It is wrong not to use the bus id's. This has been in the documentation
since 1996 and this did never change. The person who created the fork
wodim just does not understand the constraints in the Linux kernel and 
gives wrong advise.

As mentioned above already, wodim is a defective fork from an extremely 
old version of cdrecord and wodim is unmaintained. Wodim incorrectly 
interfaces to hald and for this reason, it under some condifions is completely
unable to open the writer device. Note that all known issues with wodim go
away if you upgrade to recent original software from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ 
 
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/
