/dev/cdrom owners
Okay, so I have /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc set up (since a netinstall does
not set up /dev/cdrom at all, hmmm...is that a wishlist bug?).
What do you recommend for /dev/hdc permissions:
~$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Nov 30 2000 /dev/hdc
or
~$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Nov 30 2000 /dev/hdc
I figured my users (just me really in this case, but in general it
could be a larger user base) who are allowed to use the cdrom should
be in the 'cdrom' group, not 'disk'. But an older potato CDROM
installation leaves /dev/hdc in group disk, not cdrom, even though it
created the /dev/cdrom link.
Or is this whole groups thing broken anyway? Or is just me?
Cheers!
