I created the 50-local.permissions file as suggested, but no joy.  I also
substituted ...:root:... with ...:$local:... but again no success. I could
not see reference to the 50-local.permissions file in the man page. Should
the layout be the similar to 50-udev.permissions, with only the relevant
lines? Is a soft or hard link from /dev/hdc -> cdrom still needed with this
fix?

Thanks
