Re: CD Question

["Eloy A. Paris" <eparis@ven.ra.rockwell.com>]

Uhhmmm... I haven't heard of anything like a remote CD-ROM. I've shared
my Linux box CD-ROM as a normal directory and never have had problems
with it. The section of my /etc/smb.conf that shares the CD-ROM is:

[cdrom]
   comment = Zeus's CD-ROM
   writable = no
   locking = no
   path = /cdrom

and I mount my CD-ROM with "mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom".

I hope this helps.
