-86- Why do cdman, cdplayer and capture say "permission denied"?

Date: 02 Feb 1996 00:00:01 EST

  You've installed patch 708 or 1048, which come with a broken mediad.
  You really should have patch 1048 or later, which fixes a bad security
  hole in the objectserver (see the security FAQ).  If you don't care
  about automounting CDs, turn off mediad with '/etc/init.d/mediad stop;
  /etc/chkconfig mediad off'. If you do, use the mediad from IRIX 5.3,
  (which you'll find in /var/inst/patchbase/usr/etc/mediad after
  installing the patch) or upgrade to patch 1096 (but see below).
