Hey James,
Yup, sounds like you identified the problem. I believe the app doing this is
called 'automount'. Try looking in your /etc/init.d/ or whatever he has for
startup scripts and then disable it. Or probably a better solution, take a
look at /etc/fstab. You could comment out the /dev/cdrom line to not use
automount and redefine the mount procedure.

Subject: [brluglist] Redhat 7.2 and KDE
A friend of mine is having problems with his devices. He says that when he
logs in as root, /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdd which is owned by root and group
disk. However, when he logs in as a different user, the new user becomes the
owner of /dev/hdd but the group remains the same. Should the owner of this
device change dynamically? Is kde doing something to make mounting the
drives for the user easier?
