I did some more digging. /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom are both symlinks to /dev/sr0
the symlinks (/dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom) are both owned by user:group root:root and have 777 permissions
any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance....
Every symlink I have seen has 777 permissions. What counts are the permissions of the file it links to.
[mikkel lib]$ ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-08-20 11:35 /dev/dvd -> sr0 [mikkel lib]$ ls -l /dev/sr0 brw-rw----+ 1 mikkel root 11, 0 2009-08-20 11:35 /dev/sr0

How do I change perms on the device?
If I do a chmod a+rw /dev/sr0 it changes the perms for about 30 seconds then they get changed back to rw for root only.
