====================================================================== In order to run the kscd program properly, please run as root: ln -sf /dev/cdrom chmod 666 to link and give permission to access the CD-ROM device. For example, if you have an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM device: ln -sf /dev/racd0c /dev/cdrom chmod 666 /dev/racd0c Additional instructions for using the audiocd:/ kioslave: If you have an SCSI CD-ROM or if you have an IDE/ATAPI drive AND you have activated ATAPICAM in your kernel, change the permissions for the CAM transport layer and CAM passthrough layer devices to 666, i.e.: chmod 666 /dev/xpt0 /dev/pass0 In order to make these changes permanent on FreeBSD 5.x, you have to add them to /etc/devfs.conf. Further instructions and examples on how to do this, can be found there as well. ======================================================================
