I am probably understanding this problem incorrectly meaning there is a simple explanation that is escaping me. My /dev/cd0 is owned by root so I have tried to change both the owner and the group so I can use it as a user. I have tried: chmod 777 /dev/cd0 chmod -R 777 /dev/cd0 chgrp 777 /dev/cd0 The problem is that when I reboot the system the old permissions return and I have to su and change the permissions back. How do I make these changes permanent? There is probably a security reason for this but it is very inconvenient on a desktop station. Any help would be appreciated. I am running 5.3. David
