Hello all,
             I have been trying to work this out, with no such luck so far,
I need to run Arson with root privledges because under a normal login it
doesnt detect my cdrom(Something about no access to SCSI) is there a shell
script I can write to do this?, I tried using su but it doesnt seem to allow
you to login with a password from the script, I realise it's a bad idea
having the root password in a plain text file but what other option do I
have?(Apart from opening console, typing su and a p/w and then arson
everytime I want to use it, no thanks.)

Any ideas?

   Thanks,
              Joe Skilton
