[OpenIndiana-discuss] CD/DVD permissions

Greetings.

I've never had this problem under the many versions of (Open)Solaris 
I've used, but in OpenIndiana, it is stumping me. Google has not helped. 
For some reason, only the root role has permission to read the DVD drive 
or write to it. How do I give those permissions to the users? I can't 
even install an OS under VirtualBox because of this. :-(

I'm guessing I can put settings in user_attr, but what settings, and 
since root is now a role and I can't log in as such, how do I give 
myself those attributes (or can we now modify attributes of logged in 
users)? Do I have to set up a temporary user with the root role attribute?

Thanks for any help with this.

Rainer
