Mentions to add a user to the "disk" group to allow
them to read the /dev/sg device. Isn't that a bad
idea? That then gives that user *raw* access to any
hard drive device (/dev/hd* devices) entries. It is
probably better to create a new group called "audiocd,"
change the group ownership of the /dev/sg device to
"audiocd," and then add whichever users you want to be
able to rip CDs to the "audiocd" group.
