What I've done: I have created a new device cdrom using mknod with the
same minor and major numbers as hdc. I left hdc intact. This new
created device has the following ownership

brw-rw----   1 root     cdrom     22,   0 May 30 22:19 /dev/cdrom

and then I've put myself in group cdrom.

Hope this helps.
