The sysutils/eject command was brought back to my attention, and it looks like the root-exploitable buffer overflows have been fixed. I'll try to evaluate this as a possible solution. Previously, we did use cdcontrol to eject the CDs, but this was sloppy for the reason listed above. It would be nice tofind a solution that works with all CDs regardless of atapicam.
