as others already pointed out: DON'T DO THAT!  Undo this as quick as
possible.  As root edit /etc/group, look for the line starting with
"user1:" and remove ",disk" from that line.

Then make cdrom accessible to group cdrom with "chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc".

Still as root do "adduser user1 audio" and "adduser user1 cdrom" and
then have user1 login afresh.
