Although it’s horribly out of date, I’m running Fedora 8 on my backup server, Mothball. Since the DVD burner on my desktop machine, Boon, has flaked out and eats discs rather than burning them, I’ve been using the burner on Mothball. (BTW, never buy a refurbished computer. It’s nothing but hassle.)
The UDev rules on Mothball cause the DVDRW drive (/dev/sr1) to get permissions only writeable by root. This is how to fix that:
Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
Change the line:
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="scd%n"
to
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="scd%n", MODE="0664"
udevtest /dev/sr1 can be used for testing your rules.
udevcontrol reload_rules will supposedly reload them, but my permissions didn’t change until I rebooted.
