Interesting...

I did an 'update' of Mandrake 9.0 and it now recognises hdc as a cdrw.
(I can even get eroaster to recognise it) However, I now do not appear
to have access to the cdrom as a normal user, even though when I do:

#ls -l /mnt/cdrom
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 27 22:28 cdrom/

This is exactly the same as the result for the floppy and I can access
this OK??

Any ideas

Thanks
