As of 10.5 you can actually install the server admin tools and use Workgroup Manager to manage the directory.
From here you can manage access to CD/DVDs and so much more

You could also use WGM in 10.4 to do this as well.

IF you have OS X server available.

This is also doable through NetInfo if you happen to have 10.4.

No, you don't need Mac OS X Server to use WorkGroup Manager. Just download (it's free) and install the Server Admin tools. Then launch /Applications/Server/Workgroup Manager.app, when you're prompted to connect to a server hit command-D and voila, you're on the local Directory Service. You'll need to authenticate and you'll then be able to set MCX with the Preferences pane.
