I see the point completely. However, if I remember this correctly that on reboot or SuSEConfig running, the devices get chmoded back over to their proper settings. I believe the message I saw something like checking default device permissions.
As far as I can see neither /dev/hdc or /dev/dvd is affected by /etc/permissions.* so that shouldn't happen. If it did though, all you'd need to do is add a line in /etc/permissions.local modelled after the entries in the other permissions.* files There is a line in /etc/logindevperm that looks like it changes /dev/dvd, but I don't see it happening. I'm not completely familiar with the workings of pam, so it may be a mistake on my part, and it works in the default install, I don't know. In any case, that would chown the device to the person logging on, so that should be ok. Anders
