Uh... he can. He *is* webergt, the owner of /dev/scd0. Either his
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole is chmoding this for him or he's
done it by hand. (I haven't really been following this thread.)

root happens to own the sym link, but that's not relevant.

That'd be the "disk" group, not the "cdrom" group, judging by the
above, and probably should be left alone to stay in sync with his
distro's automated security checking (presuming it does any).
