i don't think you want to add anyone to the disk group. you'll notice
that also gives you read-write access to your harddrives. that's no
good -- permissions serve well to protect the system from stupid
mistakes (typos, etc).
instead, just give everyone rw for just hdc, since they can't hurt a
cd.
chmod 666 /dev/hdc
