Fine with scripting, but if the users have to remember to click something before logging out then they just as well eject the disk images. A cron job would work, but it would be nice to just have it happen. Thanks for the suggestions.
cron won't be good for this unless you want to run it every minute. I would use a logout hook

so it's only executed on the logout. it can run an apple script along the following lines
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
set nmd to number of disks
--this ejects externals and disk images
if nmd > 1 then
repeat with i from 2 to nmd
eject disk (nmd - i + 2)
end repeat
end if
end tell</pre>
this will unmount all externals and disk images when a user logs out.
