A friend of mine is able to eject cd rom drives from across his network that has a mix of Linux (suse), NT,Win2K and Win98 machines. he can do it on any of them as long as he knows the IP address. I find it hard to believe that it is that simple although i have seen it happen although he wont tell me the command or commands. Does anyone know of it or come across it or any ideas how he could be doing and maybe just lying about the command to do it ! i have seen him to do it from a DOS machine that is on the netowrk and ejects the CD on the linux box
