Well, these are the kind of answers I don't like. I HAD searched the archives 
since days.

May its there but I had not seen that. Searching on the archive gives me 57 
mails containing something about k3b. No one contains a hint (as I had seen) 
how to solve the problems I have. So now I'll just standing dumb: It would be 
help just getting a link where something is reported about these problems. If 
you meant the stuff from thread 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2004-January/msg00039.html - this 
isn't interesting - my devices ARE set as scsi-devices. (just the mostly not 
used old cd-burning isn't)

Realy, be sure: I wouldn't ask if I had found something in archive. So call me 
stupid or whatever but telling something more specific would be better. A 
link would be more than enough.

Then I should ask myself why k3b is hinting me that I should setup 
cdrecord/cdrdao to suid root when i disable it. (package from xcyb.org and 
from fedora core)
