Yes they do. I am actually logging in as a sysop for test purposes.
I do not think that the api is reading the cookies.

I am using api.php?action=login... I run the login
command from my java

suggested in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login. Within firefox I
do show cookies and they are listed under localhost.
Immediately after the login statement I run an api query with
"list=categorymembers."
If I have $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;, I receive an error.
So my login does not seem to be working.
Thanks for any assistance.

I assume the missing ] is a typo.
Does the user trying to log in have the read right from another group?
Ie. does $wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true; ?
