I have to keep changing permissions of /dev/sr0 to allow non-root access.
How do I change it permanently ?
you should update your system. This was a very early error in hal (or udev... not sure anymore), that the permissions were not set correctly. Most device files are created dynamically nowadays and permissions are granted dynamically too with udev.
don't be surprised: ls -l will not show you all you want to see: :~> ls -l /dev/sr0 brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2009-04-29 08:16 /dev/sr0
In that context, I got two questions: 1) What's the application that gives out the ACLs during login? Is it ConsoleKit? 2) When was the problem fixed? Sometime in the last 6 weeks, or earlier? I'm asking because somehow the ACLs are not set on my system any more, neither for the CD nor for the sound device. I thought it changed after a large update at ca. 2009-03-21 with ConsoleKit and dbus and others. (I use neither Gnome nor KDE, in case that matters.)
