The messages I've seen on this topic seem to be implying that it's a bad
thing for it to give read/write permission to /dev/hdc in case that's
not the CD-ROM.  Valid point, but have you ever considered the (highly
likely) possibility that the permissions were actually set on
/dev/cdrom, which would happen to be symlinked to whatever device is
your actual CD-ROM?  The fact that the permissions were changed on
/dev/hdc on one machine doesn't mean that /dev/hdc would get touched on
others..
