The point is brobably on the permissions for /usr/bin/eject (or
wherever it sits).
Try:
ls -l `which eject` (these are backticks, not apostrophes)
you'll see not everyone can eject. Either set a+x permission to eject
or put yourself in the correct group.
The other way is to put yourself in the gksu and sudo configuration.
This involves a little more editing, but then you will be able to run
eject, aptitude, synaptic, NetworkManager and everything else, just
by writing
"gksu /path/to/the/program" instead of just the program, in the
commandline. gksu is in gnome maybe in kde is another.
For hint, see the properties of the icon "synaptic" or "login
configuration" or any other 'root' program. You right-click on the
menu item and see the command used. this is the command to get root
permissions. normally a plain "sudo /usr/bin/eject /dev/hdc" is
sufficient, provided you are in the /etc/sudoers file.
man sudo
man sudoers
man gksu
man eject
And, the script you found corrects a bug when apps do not close
properly, but does not correct a security feature when norma users
are not allowed to eject devices!
