hi. i'm having difficulty accessing the cdrom even though i think i set all the permissions correctly. so i'm thinking i should probably use newgrp to switch groups to make use of the permissions, but it keeps on asking for my password which i shouldn't need to switch to the group.
here's my permission setup: /dev/$ ls -la cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 13 12:56 cdrom -> scd0 /dev/$ ls -la scd0 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Mar 14 2002 scd0 /dev/$ my username is in the proper group: /etc/$ grep 'cdrom' group cdrom:x:24:mark /etc/$ id uid=1000(mark) gid=1000(mark) groups=1000(mark),23(cdrom) but if i switch the group, i get prompted for password. none of the passwords i use on the system work: /etc/$ newgrp cdrom Password: Sorry. /etc/$ Ideas? Thanks in advance! -Mark -- Mark K.
