Grip/cdparanoia

[stingray72]

Got a question?

1) Why wouldn't I be able to use cdparanoia with grip as a normal user?
As far as I know the user has permissions to the cdrom? I've look at the permissions on /dev/cdrom and have permission, which looks like this

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 dec cdrom -> /dev/scd0

but the symlink for /dev/scd0 looks like this.

What gives?

what does the entry for your cdrom look like in your /etc/fstab ?

[stingray72]

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,owner,ro 0 0

[stingray72]

When I run cdparanoia -Q from the command line it says

/dev/cdrom exists but is not accessible. I guess I want to make it accessible but don't know which permissions to change?

this is the complete output:

/paranoia/
