groups does not show me as a member of cdrom. I did the following;
janet:~# useradd rosef cdrom

Which is what cdtools tells you to do when you attempt to access a
restriced drive. I am also listed in gshadow and gshadow- the same as
group and group- respectively. Further, groups lists me as a member of
dip. There is no apparent difference between the way I am listed for
dip and the way I am listed for cdrom in the group files.

And, yes, my cdrom is hdc. I have 2 ide drives on the first ide channel 
and cdrom and ide tape on the second. I remember seeing this as the 
recomended configuration when I installed my tape drive.
