We are still having a small problem with our upgrade (which by the way was  
something out of Dante's Inferno). Our printer works, our NetInfo apps  
don't crash, but our CDplayer can't find the CD-ROM drive.  Here's what  
i've tracked down so far:

- root can use the CDPlayer but no one else has any luck

- if you run the CDPlayer executable from within gdb you get these  
messages
Starting program: /HUGEdisk/NextDeveloper/Demos/CDPlayer.app/CDPlayer 
cdutil: findDrive: Ioctl SGIOCSTL failed: 2
cdutil: findDrive: Permission denied
cdutil: findDrive: Ioctl SGIOCSTL failed: 4
cdutil: findDrive: Permission denied
cdutil: findDrive: Ioctl SGIOCSTL failed: 5
cdutil: findDrive: Permission denied
cdutil: findDrive: Ioctl SGIOCSTL failed: 7
cdutil: findDrive: Permission denied

does anyone know what the CDPlayer program is doing here and where I need  
to change permissions within the file hierarchy? By the way our CD-ROM is  
at scsi number 4 which is sd2a when the system boots up.

Thanx
