can't access cd-rw after switch to ide-scsi



I'm having an access permission problem with my cd-rw drive. I switched it to ide-scsi (added hdc=ide-scsi to boot parameters) and now I can write to the drive with cdrecord, but only as root. Similarly, I can only rip tracks from the drive as root. I can mount data cd's and read them as a regular user (configured "user" in fstab). Before I switched to ide-scsi, I could rip cd's just fine as a regular user with group "cdrom" premissions. /dev/scd0 has read/write permissions for group "cdrom", but still I can only use grip, cdrecord as root. Anyone know how to fix this? Thnx.

Cheers,
Tim

P.S. Hmmm... just noticed that all /dev/sg* devices have only root permissions... should I chgrp them to "disk" and add group rw permissions? Create a "scsi" group?
