Re: DVD Region Code and Imaging

I've received some suggestions on altering the authorization file
located in the /etc folder to at least allow for no admin users to make
the settings themselves. Here is what I have been given:

In the /etc/authorization file you can delegate the right
system.device.dvd.setregion.initial to the group staff, changing:

<key>group</key>
<string>admin</string>

to

<key>group</key>
<string>staff</string>

Does this look or sound reasonable?

thanks

Jerry
