Description of problem:
  for systems that have ATAPI CD drives that are emulating SCSI devices, access
to the drive via the /dev/sg* devices is initially restricted to the root
account.  it would be helpful if a couple of additional lines were added to
/etc/security/console.perms, as in:

<scsi>=/dev/sg[0-9]*
<console> 0600 <scsi> 0600 root

this would make the CD drive accessible to the lone non-priv user who happens to
be using the machine, if i read the console.perms file correctly.  i tried it,
and it seems to work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install RH 8.0
2.try to access CD-ROM as a non-root user via, say, cdrecord
3.watch it fail
	

Actual Results:    access to CD-ROM works only for root account until
console.perms file is modified

Instead, it does /dev/cdrwriter* and kudzu sets up appropriate links for CD
writer devices that are found
