        Aye, but the location of the entry and permissions in either file 
really have nothing to do with why the device is not usable by a non-root 
user, when given permissions 0666, or even 0660:

#REGISTER       ^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink 
$devname cdrom
REGISTER      ^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd$        COPY $devpath   cdrom
REGISTER       ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER     ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
REGISTER       ^cdrom[0-9]*$ PERMISSIONS root.root 0644
REGISTER       ^cdrom[0-9]*$ PERMISSIONS root.root 0644
