Don't think of it as a joke. If I get this correctly, the question is:
How do you let one user insert, remove, and switch CD's without
granting him root privileges?
I can imagine one way, using SUID scripts owned by root, run by that
user. But as I'm still pretty green, I'm not sure if it will work; or if
it is even necessary. One thing you could make sure of, is that these
commands are issued from the local terminal. Remotelyremoving a CD makes
not much sense.
