Well am not pretty familiar with what the permissions should be and why 
they should be that way but from my machine i get :

[root at Magellan root]# ls -lh /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 9 Aug 14 22:07 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0

Owner is root and group  is Disk

[root at Magellan root]# ls -lh /dev/scd0
brw-rw----  1 root disk 11, 0 Sep 15  2003 /dev/scd0

Again owner is root and groub is Disk .


Kind Regards,
