This is just a little script I wrote because many users are not allowed to administrate their computers, but should be able to set up the DVD-ROM-drive for the first time a video-DVD is played:
Attention
You use this script at your own risk! Everything can happen, when messing around with system configuration, even data loss.
The script
- tested on 10.4.8
- must be run as root, might be delivered with FileWave or launched when admin is setting up the computer.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Script : regionCodeSetupAllow.sh
# Author : Heiko Kretschmer
# Purpose: Setting /etc/authorization up, so that unprivileged users can set the dvd region code (initial)
#
#
# History:
# 2006-12-12, 15:20: Inital creation of this script.
