Subject: growisofs prejudiced against sudo

Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 20:56:44 -0700

Package: dvd+rw-tools
Version: 5.19.4.9.7-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/growisofs

growisofs refuses to run under sudo.  In the man page, it explains that it
does this in order to attempt to prevent the user from shooting themselves
in the foot by allowing unprivileged users to run growisofs as root.

However, many of us use sudo in more reasonable ways, and this behaviour
breaks perfectly reasonable use cases.
