Just by experience, trojans aren't terribly hard to make. If he's got any programming knowledge, he probably could have built his own trojan that does that for LINUX and another for Win(Whatever). Then, since he made it, he probably made it to accept any certain signal, maybe some dos command. Therefore, he puts it on each computer and can cause each to pop its CD drive open at any time. Since he made it, the only function was probably the CD-eject.
There are lots of options. VNC will work on any of the os's.. Cool Remote Control http://www.rocketdownload.com/Details/Inte/7341.htm will work on all the windows boxes. Or like MC said, it could be just excuting a remote program. Can't remember the command in Windows, but he may be using rsh in linux. If he has cygwin insalled on all the machines, he could use rsh on all of them.
*Windows can use REXEC, RSH and RCD as well... sorry, forgot about that.
might be vnc or a homebrew. Could also be a tag to WAL program.
But did you check TechieChick's link? That seems most probable given the information stated, my vote of approval goes to her! Would the guy be that keen to bung a virus on his own network anyway even if it was just to show off? It's not likely to be a trojan I wouldn't have thought

I guess TC is right.
This could easly be done using a login script, any network loads network drive paths etc.. on a multi-platform network master login scripts. I'd say depending on the OS and login scripts for each one. One can do lots of things across a network via the server login script.
hi all, been away for a day so couldnt clarify earlier for techiechick (sorry). Yes it was on my friends network which has a mix of oc, however when he cam to mine he did the same on my network which also has a mix os setup including novell. I know there is no login scripts, he had no method of placing a trojan etc I want him to do it again so i can implement a keystroke logger but i cant get him round here and he just smiles when i ask how he does it. So no trojans,login scripts or any other proggies to his rescue so i am stumped
Ok, first...
That's generally a favourite trick in Sub7. I've seen it 10,000,000,000,000 times when the local kiddiot sends first-years screaming from the school library.
Second:
Some of these posts here are being randomly negged since the "balance thing"... I just want to say that I don't think that Hazarawood and STeRoiD deserve to be negged to hell for their comments - Hazarawood didn't say ANYTHING wrong, just that it will work over the internet in general (although he needs some English skillz ;) ) and STeRoiD was just trying to make a joke. Don't hurt the poor newbies, they don't know that they've done anything wrong ;)
Just my two cents.
::EDIT::
Just had a thought... if I recall from my Kiddiot days (long gone!), the SubSeven trojan could be bound to an executable file. Has this guy ever given you ANY program at all? Even something burned on a CD can carry the trojan.

well what user was logged on to the pc he did it from at your place? was it a domain admin or similar? if it was it wouldnt surprise me if it was just some basic dos commands done by the right user.
