For some strange reason, cdrdao in FC5 can only write as root - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191684
But when I download cdrdao-1.2.1.tar.bz2 from cdrdao.sourceforge.net and compile in the simplest possible way (".configure" and "make"), the resulting cdrdao executable works fine as an ordinary user. So I'm guessing the FC5 version was compiled wrong, and that it's nothing deeper than that. Can someone running FC6t2 please check whether cdrdao works for writing as an ordinary user? Thanks.
