on many desktop-oriented distro (and AFAIK most read-hat based ones),
permission of common devices such as floppy, cdrom, audio, etc is set
by changing the ownership of the device file to that of the "local"
(console, x|k|gdm) user who is logged in.
If I remember correctly that is handled by a PAM module.
