As long as the effective {user,group} ID associated with the process has
permission to read the raw dev (/dev/rccd0c), it should work just fine.
For example, I'm using amanda, set up to run as user "operator" (which
I've manually added to group "operator"), and here's a machine that
amanda backs up that uses ccd:
crab[3]% ls -l /dev/*ccd0c
brw-r----- 1 root wheel 21, 2 Jan 15 1997 /dev/ccd0c
crw-r----- 1 root operator 74, 2 Apr 29 1997 /dev/rccd0c
