You almost definitely don't want to add users to group disk, since
that gives them read/write access to raw devices for all of your disks
(meaning that they can directly read the bits off the hard disk,
meaning that they can effectively ignore filesystem permissions).
Better to change the group owner of your cdrom device to 'cdrom' with
chgrp, and then add users to group 'cdrom'.
