Use 'chmod' to change the permissions of the device driver you use for
cdrw device. Look into /dev for the device driver for your cdrw
device, such as /dev/hd*.
Example for an IDE device:
chmod 660 /dev/hdb
You might also want to look into using 'sudo' to run this where you
can give root permissions for certain uses to limited few people.
