There's a fairly simple solution to this. Create a 'cd' group and add
the necessary users to this group. Then:
chown root:cd /usr/bin/cdrecord
chmod 4750 /usr/bin/cdrecord
This makes cdrecord only executable by root and members of the cd group,
and makes it suid so that a normal user can run it.
Cheers,
John
