It indicates that there is a non-trivial ACL and that it is worth to run program getfacl to see all permissions. $ getfacl /dev/sr0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/sr0 # owner: root # group: cdrom user::rw- user:<my desktop user name>:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- I.e. my desktop user explicitely has rw permission independently of his group memberships. > > putting them all into group "cdrom". > They all are already. Consider Pascal Hambourg's theory that only the one can eject who mounted. If the automounter (udisks ?) acts on your desktop user's behalf or on its own user id, then permissions on the device file might be not enough to operate it. In this case you need to get your automounter under control. > sometimes I'm even prompted for > password to eject a CD I myself put into the drive! What happens if the various users perform the command eject /dev/sr0 in a shell terminal ? Especially the superuser should have success. Maybe you can enable all your family members to perform sudo eject /dev/sr0 and provide some icon for this command on the desktop. (I assume family does not like shell commands.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
