[TriLUG] cdrecord

[Lee Fickenscher]

I too would believe that this is an issue with cdrecord not finding its
conf file. I would try the man page for cdrecord and see where it says
the default conf file should be. AFAIK /etc/default is only used by
useradd. Also, I believe that the grub.conf change was made by the grub
people rather than RH (gentoo has also changed), but I certainly won't
argue that RH tends to play fast and loose with a lot of defaults :-)
