With sudo?
As root, /usr/sbin/visudo to edit /etc/sudoers file
add the lines:
User_Alias BURNERS = "your username"
Cmnd_Alias BURN = /usr/bin/gtoaster
BURNERS = ALL = NOPASSWD: BURN
I don't use gtoaster but if it calls another program to burn CD's then
you may have to add a comma after '/usr/bin/gtoaster' and the path to
that binary.
Then from the command line you can run it with
sudo /usr/bin/gtoaster &
or edit your gtoaster launcher properties by putting a 'sudo ' before the
command it executes.
To give another user access just use visudo again to add their name
after yours in the User_Alias line.
