For me, /dev/hd* has group disk, except for hda and hdc, which are both cdrom (and are where I put a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW. The installer took care of appropriate group assignment for those two devices; I dunno why that didn't happen for you. But at any rate, if hdc is your CDRW, it oughta have a group of cdrom, with that group having users who'd use it as its membership. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
