Yep, you're right. I'm an idiot. I was testing in a shell that was 
opened prior to adding the 'operator' group to the user (from another 
shell). I kept getting:

	$ whoami
	tester

	$ user info tester
	login   tester
	passwd  *
	uid     1001
	groups  tester operator
	change  NEVER
	class
	gecos   tester
	dir     /home/tester
	shell   /bin/ksh
	expire  NEVER

	$ cdio
	No CD device name specified. Defaulting to cd0.
	Compact Disc Control utility, version 2.1
	Type `?' for command list

	cdio> play
	cdio: Can't open /dev/rcd0c: Permission denied
	cdio>                                                   


If the shell is opened *after* being added to the operator group, cdio 
works perfectly. I should f'ing know better.
