As a result cdrecord would not even work if run by root.
I am not sure which variant would give me more confused users.....
I cant answer that. I know I found it very confusing when the program got permission denied when started by root.
I think it would be sensible to print a explanation where permission is denied, when one might reasonably expect permission to be granted. It is quite reasonable for root to expect to be able to read a file. The fact root cant, needs some explanation. Simply putting "permission denied" is not really sufficient in a case like this.
A slightly more informative error message should not confuse anyone and might save a lot of headache. Normally if one gets "permission denied" when using a UNIX system, it will not take any half-sensible person to work out why the permission is denied. But in this case the reasons are far from obvious, so need a bit of explanation.
