In the interest of trying to understand how ownership and permissions work, let me ask you a question. As root, I ran 'adduser <me> cdrom' since cdrom is the group that owns my CD drive. This should allow me to remove the harmless world rw permission from /dev/cdrom. Looking in /etc/group, I can see that I am in group cdrom, but when I run 'groups' as me, it only shows me as being in group audio and my own group, but not cdrom. Do I need to log out and log back in to get the change to take? Is there a command that will update my shell without a logout? I really don't want to log out, and I expect more from Linux than that anyway.
