Subject: Re: CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and device permission
Whatever I put in /etc/fstab it always comes back as:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
and /dev/hdc is owned by root with a protection mask: brw-rw----
That entry looks OK as long as you're not using SELinux.
I think that all that needs to be done is to get udev to recognise your
drive as a cdwriter and set up the appropriate link. Everything else
should fix itself automagically after that.
Try creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules containing the
following line:
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdc", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom cdwriter dvd"
I assume you have only one CD and/or DVD drive?
Then see what you get after a reboot.

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.
Are you getting symlinks in /dev though?
$ ls -l /dev | grep hdc
Paul.
