Description

Missing permissions to write optical discs (CD-R/W, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W, BluRay,...).
The following works but only for the first optical disc writer in the system.

Is there a better way?

```
cat >> /etc/devfs.conf <<\EOF

# Allow users to write optical media
# https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/simple-howto-burn-and-rip-cds.1195/

own acd0 root:wheel
perm acd0 0660

own cd0 root:wheel
perm cd0 0660

own pass1 root:wheel
perm pass1 0660

own pass0 root:wheel
perm pass0 0660

EOF
```

Personally I find it annoying that one has to "fiddle around" with stuff like this, rather than the permissions in FreeBSD being set up out of the box in a way that allows users to write optical discs.
