Title: Using CDROM as share?
Post by: Nev Wain on November 09, 2001, 05:02:35 PM

Hello

Is it possible to use the CDROM on the esmith server as a shared resource via the network?

If so, what is the least painful way of achieving this?

(I have already got ibays set up sharing part of my hard drive.)

Thanks in advance

Regards

the rpm name is sharecdrom but i dont know the right version

it works great for me. yu only have to put the cd in and mount the drive and you are done. everything works fine.

The rpm (e-smith-sharedcdrom-0.1-1.noarch.rpm) by Danielvan Raay is located in the Contribution section at this site.  A search under contributed rpms will locate it.

I haven't tried it yet, but a colleague of mine has and says that it works fine - once you have re-run esmith config!

Good Luck

or, type at the console prompt:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

This will do the trick too instead of doing a complete re-config.

And yes it's working just fine.
