Actually, you can settle the mounting  problem in /etc/fstab

A line similar to:

/dev/hdb  /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,users,noauto,exec   1  0

would allow any user to mount your cdrom and unmount it, I am assuming 
of course that you don't have folks logging into your system whom you 
don't trust.  If you do, then you have to assign ownership of /dev/hdb 
to some group and only add users whom you trust to that group.
