I believe the usual method is to grant write access to the group rather
than changing the ownership of the device. At least that's the way I
do it :) In the grand scheme of things I doubt it matters much.
You will want to make sure that you only modify permissions (or ownership)
on the devices absolutely required. That leaves less chance for something
to run amok and start trashing your disk drives or other devices.
