Hi again No change... Even without the rules entry the drive seems to works fine, there are entries in /media, etc What about the permissions.d in udev? The list includes a line that starts with "cdroms/*", this might be the correct place to set the permission? What I have done as a workaround is create a little script in rc5.d to set the permission to /dev/hdc directly. Thanks, François Ouellette <fouellet@xxxxxxxxxxx>
