Mathematically exact solutions describing propagating waves are constructed for a cold magnetized plasma bounded by a rigid cylindrical dielectric. Possible particle sources and sinks due to chemical reactions are allowed. It is found that the volume waves can be either amplified or damped because of their density dependence, while the surface waves are unaffected by the sources and sinks.
