Can we set something in HAL to make sure the device entry always allows access to others?
From: Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and device permission To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx
The device should come up with permissions 0600 *but* owned by the user logged in at the console, so that user can access the device but nobody else can.
Do you want multiple users to be able to access the drive, or just the console user, who is likely to be the only one that has physical access to the drive?
Paul.
The device always turns out to be owned by root... I use 2 user names this machine apart from root.
Is there a symlink being created ?:
/dev/cdwriter -> hdc
Also what is the /etc/fstab entry for /dev/hdc ?
Mine's (all one line):
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
