I'm guessing that ALL /dev/hd? are setup as group "disk". What I did and I
believe is the *proper* procedure, is simply change the group of /dev/hdc (or
whatever your CDROM is) from "disk" to "cdrom" ("chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc"). Of
course, any users that need access should be in the "cdrom" group. Use "adduser
username cdrom" to do that and have the user log out, then log in again for the
changes to take place.
