-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thus spake Chris Metzler: # No. Instead of "disk", you meant to say group "cdrom." Assign users # to group "cdrom" so that they can access the cdrom device. # # Group "disk" has write access to all the raw disk devices (/dev/hd* and # /dev/sd*). Assigning users to group "disk" is both dangerous and a # security risk.
Sorry. I may need to change my /dev/hdc group then. ls -l /dev/cdrom shows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 23 19:23 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cdrom0 ls -l /dev/cdrom0 shows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 27 20:59 /dev/cdrom0 -> /dev/hdc and ls -l /dev/hdc shows: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Feb 3 07:28 /dev/hdc This is where I got 'disk' for the group to put users into. But I see now that /dev/hd* is group 'disk'. However, only my /dev/pktcdvd0 (udf packet writing to CDRW) is group 'cdrom'. And group 'cdrom' doewn't mention 'disk' and 'disk' doesn't mention 'cdrom'. Is this a problem? Do I need to change something? This is how Debian set it up for me.
