cdrom permissions
I have an IDE ATAPI cdrom, it is /dev/hdb
I have created a soft link, that is /dev/cdrom that points to /dev/hdb
eject and workman do not work\ probably due to permissions of /dev/hdb
brwxrwx--x 1 root disk 3, 64 Mar 3 19:20 /dev/hdb
What is the correct way to solve this problem. Some solutions I can think of are
as follows:
1. Give everyone read access for /dev/hdb; does not seem so nice to allow raw
access to everyone
2. chgrp cdrom /dev/hdb , and add users that will be allowed to play/eject
cd's to this group
3. setuid eject and workman executables
