trouble with 'eject' of cdrom, writing cdrom

Hello,
I have FC3 installed and notice that, although FC3 mounts a cdrom when
inserted into my cdrom reader/writer, it complains when I try to eject
it :
eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'
[jfl at ws8 ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Dec 1 19:28 /dev/hdc
So I have changed the permissions :
[jfl at ws8 ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 22, 0 Dec 1 19:28 /dev/hdc
and now things seem to work.
Yet I have read that the /dev directory is now dynamically populated,
somehow.
Under what conditions is the /dev directory dynamically populated?
Will I have to reset permissions in the future?
Thanks for any light you might shed on this phenomenon.
