They all say root:root because those are symlinks that point to a |
27 |
directory/file. So, the entry: |
28 |
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Jun 17 06:55 cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0 |
29 |
|
30 |
would point to: |
31 |
|
32 |
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Jul 18 19:27 hdc |
33 |
|
34 |
Notice the permission is root:cdrom and not root:root. Hope this info helps |
35 |
clear things up. |
