Re: file permission for cdrom /dev/hdc etc
If I can assume you don't really want your users to access the raw device,
I think you will find all is well. On my system, when I mount the
device (/dev/mcd) on /cdrom, everyone can read it. I also have the "user"
option in my /etc/fstab which lets anyone mount the cd. This may or
may not be desirable in your situation.
This is what my fstab entry looks like:
/dev/mcd /cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 2
Hope I answered your question.
Jim.
