Question: How to change the permissions to the /dev/hda (where my /media/cdrecorder) is mounted onto, to allow multiple users logged in at the same time to be able to read/write to cdrom. (I am using RHEL 4)

PROBLEM:
So what's happening is after USER1 logs in, I do "ll /dev/hda" and I get the following: brw------- 1 USER1 disk 3, 0 Jul 7 10:07 /dev/hda"

So when USER2 logs in at another TTY terminal, they cannot write to the CDROM because it says permission denied.

So basically....How can I change the permissions to be 770 to allow all members of group "disk" to have permissions. (Currently I can change "/dev/hda" permissions by using chmod as superuser but, after a reboot I loose the permissions). I need to have this done automatically so I was thinking along the lines of how to modify the rules for udev to allow for this....or is there a better way?

Thanks!
