Kent,
Do you want to change the rights on the file? device? I think what you
really want is to change the way the device is mounted, not the rights. Heres
the way mandrake mounts cdroms, so users can access them, and so they can be
opened/changed w/out using a mount command...
try this entry in your /etc/fstab, comment out your other line for the cd,
and add this one...
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
then unmount /dev/cdrom
then mount -a (this reads the fstab to mount all mount points)
all of the above will have to be done as root (hehe scissors cool!)
