On my system, the ownership of /dev/cdrom changes when I log in:
$ ls -lL /dev/cdrom brw------- 1 malusek malusek 11, 0 Sep 24 2001 /dev/cdrom
But I don't know how to force this change for /dev/dvd too.
It seems the PAM's pam_devperm module is responsible for the ownership change. But /dev/dvd is listed in the file /dev/logindevperm: :0 0600 /dev/dvd:/dev/dvd1:/dev/dvd2:/dev/dvd3 so I think you should automatically become the owner of /dev/dvd when you log in. Did you log out and log in after the symbolic link change? If not do it and check the ownership via "ls -lL /dev/dvd /dev/cdrecorder". -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
