That is generally considered a root-user-only privilege. A user can 
eject a CD/DVD only because the user belongs to the group "cdrom".
So, that limits the use to only approved users and not the world.

You might consider a similar scheme to allow only certain users to 
mount/umount partitions/disks. But you sure wouldn't want the "world" to 
have such access. Ric
