kudzu is supposed to detect your cd writer and generate /dev/cdwriter*
symlinks. These are supposed to be made user writable by consolehelper
on console login, so cdburning without root should be possible. This is
supposed to work, if it doesn't, report a bug.

Having to make cdrecord setuid root seems like a security hole waiting
to happen.
