| cdrom and audio:
| -----------------
| I want one of my workstations to be an MP3 server.  
| It is a Pentium 150, 
| 48 MB of RAM, and 15 GB HD.  I installed Afterstep, and a bunch of cd/audio/mp3 
| software from the potato cd. My problem is cdrom won't read audio cd's but 
| I can mount data cds.
| If I run:              I get the message:
| Grip 2.91              "Unable to open the cd device. Please make..."
| gtcd 1.0.51            "Error accessing the cdrome device....
|                         Reason: Permission denied."
| similarly with other cd audio software.
| I have an internal, ATAPI cdrom.  My fstab for cdrom is
| /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro.user,noauto 0 0
| And /dev/cdrom is soft-linked to /dev/hdc.
| Permissions (when I do ls -l):
| drwxr-xr-x  2 root root       /cdrom
| lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3     /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
| brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 0 /dev/hdc
| 
| How do I fix this?

$ su root
# chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc
# addgroup <your_user_name> cdrom
$ logout (then log back in)
