Fedora 10 lsdvd requires root access??
 

I am running Fedora 10 new install. lsdvd gives an error when trying to access the dvd. If I issue chmod 766 /dev/dvd then it works fine. Is there a way to set this a boot so access to the dvd does not require root password?

lsdvd
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
Can't open disc /dev/dvd!

to actually change the permissions you'd want to tweak the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d (http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_...#example-cdrom) but it's more common to have that file owned by root, but in a group such as "cdrom" or similar, and youwould conventionally add your own user to that group to get proper access.

Thanks for the link. I will change the udev rules, just thought it would make sense to have that set as default from install.

Well assuming that it is the group membership stuff, then technically it does make sense.
