I have a hard disk on /dev/hda and a CDROM drive on /dev/hdc. Their permissions are: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Jul 6 2000 /dev/hda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Jul 6 2000 /dev/hdc I want to access the CDROM drive as a non-root user (to play my music CD). Adding my ordinary account to the group "disk" is dangerous (anyone in the group "disk" can reformat my hard disk), so I am looking for another solution. The right way seems to be "chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc". Is just doing chgrp enough? /sbin/MAKEDEV insists /dev/hdc should be root:disk 0660. I don't want to edit /sbin/MAKEDEV because it is not a conffile. Is there a possibility that some package calls /sbin/MAKEDEV and overwrites my setting of /dev/hdc?
