Julian,
It must be related to what security setting you use. On both a Mandrake
7.2 and an 8.1 box, I have a cdrom group listed.

Michael,
Actually it's more than that ...
When I looked at the behavior of CD-ROM access my system, it didn't occur
to me until after I'd sent the email that I had my Red Hat 7.2 installation
up ! Sorry about that :-)

I can't seem to figure out why my cdrom

Because its a removable disk how to I change the permissions?

If I understand that what you're asking for is for multiple users to be
able to mount and unmount CD-ROMS, then you must change user to users
in fstab.
See man mount.

Gerald,
This is actually further restricted, because user(s) mounting / umounting
the CDROM must be in the 'cdrom' group. This also applies to the floppy.
In order to mount / umount the floppy drive, you must be in the floppy group.
