go into the dev directroy 'cd /dev' and type 'ls -la cdrom'
It should look like
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            3 Nov 14 20:15 cdrom -> hdb

The l means that it is a link (to hdb)
rwx means that root can access it (read/write/execute)
rwx (second) means that group root can access it
rwx (third) means that everyone else can access it

You can change these permissions using the chmod command and you
can change the owner using the chown command
