[gentoo-user] Cdrtools installation without suid root

[Joerg Schilling]

Hi all,

since Linux-2.6.24, fcaps support is part of the vanilla kernel.
If you also add "libcap" user and developer support and the commands
"getcap" and "setcap", you will be able to install working versions for:

	cdrecord, cdda2wav, readcd

without making them suid-root. 

This works with cdrtools-3.01a14 or later. Check

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

for the sources.

Happy hacking!

Jörg
