14.1.3.3 Setting correct permissions on the devices files
14.1.3.3.1 Setting permissions for static "/dev" support
If you want to give other users access to all disc devices you can do this in Linux by setting
correct permissions for corresponding device file names. (Please note: this occurs in the
control of the operating system, not in Nero Linux.)
Requirements:
 You have enough privileges to do so.
Before you configure a device, make sure that you ha
ve configu
red your kernel with the fol-
lowing options:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI (SCSI emulation support)

CONFIG_SCSI (SCSI support)

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SG (SCSI generic support)
Configuring a device, so that it will use the ide-scsi driver, is done by providing a specific
gument hdx=ide-scsi to the kernel command line. For example, if the device file correspond-
ing to your recorder is /dev/hdb, you will ha
If you do not know how to do this, please refer to your distributi
how to pass options to the kernel at boot time. Please also note that most of the actual dis-
tributions provide some graphical frontends to modify the boot loader parameters:

For Red Hat Linux run ksconfig (this application is called Kickstart Configurator). When
the application is running, click on Boot Loader Options and fill the Kernel Parameters
field.

For SuSE Linux run YaST2, select System in the left pane and then double-click on
Boot Loader Configuration. Once the module is launched, click on Edit Configuration
Files to set up the device parameters.
