I solved my k3b problem as follows.
k3bsetup set it to the user group.
and then manually change
chmod 710 /usr/bin/cdrdao
chmod 710 /usr/bin/cdrecord

funny thing is k3bsetup will try to change cdrdao and cdrecord
to mode 4710 permission. the SUID stiky bit, i don't really understand
but mode 710 works and now all group users able to burn and erase instead
of only root user.

kernel 2.8 had problems but that was before i tried the permission change.
it currently works in 2.6.9

anyone aware if there are any problems with 710 instead of the recommended
4710?
