[luau] Duplicating Music CD

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha,

	I haven't played much with this or any other cdripper, but...  I recall that 
default permissions on my cdrom drive have caused me trouble in the past.  
Making the cdrom chmod 777 when combined with an appropriate set of 
permissions in the fstab file fixed all my troubles without having to suid 
any programs.   For my own purposes, this was a better solution than fixing 
all the programs. Essentially the only security change I had to worry about 
was  physical access to the cdrom drive as the software remained the same.   
Could this or something similar work for cdparanoia?  {I don't have a cd 
burner, or I'd try it myself. } 

Mele Kalikimaka,
