Thank you for the reply but it didn't work, the problem I think I am
having is one of it not mounting and unmounting the cdrom.
Fedora 8 mounts the cdroms in the /media folder however a folder with
the name of the cdrom shows up there, i.e. say for example I had a cdrom
with the name "FedoraList" I would have /media/FedoraList in that folder
which makes it difficult to share the cdrom drive itself.
Also would it be possible for someone to explain this to me as I didn't
understand it :-
# If you want to run scripts (preexec/root prexec/print command/...) please
# put them into the /var/lib/samba/scripts directory so that smbd will be
# allowed to run them.
# Make sure you COPY them and not MOVE them so that the right SELinux
context
# is applied, to check all is ok use restorecon -R -v
/var/lib/samba/scripts
I dont understand where to get the scripts from to put them in that folder.
I am using ;-
root preexec = /sbin/mount /media/cdrom
root postexec = /sbin/umount /media/cdrom
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[cdrom]
comment = Linux CD-ROM
path = /media/cdrom
read only = yes
locking = no
writable = no
The home directories work fine with security = user, however they
disappear leaving on the cdrom folder showing with security = share, the
cdrom folder however still doesn't share the contents of the cdrom though.
I've got selinux disabled, and also this is my output from df -k.

Try to change

to
security = share
It might help you.

I was just wondering if any of you have any experience of sharing a

over samba, i'm not having very much luck in getting it working you see,
have googled and search a lot and I think I am very close to getting it

am, so I
am really looking for a few pointers/tips/ideas.
[cdrom]
comment = CD-ROM
path = /cdrom
writable = no
locking = no
public = yes
read only = yes
valid users = %S
This is what i'm using at the moment and it shows up on the windows
pc but
it asks for a password when I try to connect, but none of the users
set up
on the box or in the smbpasswd file work and root doesn't work
either, it
just keeps poping up asking for the password again no matter what I try.

Why don't you just copy the contents of the cd to a folder and share the
folder with samba? why do you want to share the cdrom device( i am not
sure you can anyway)?
As you pointed out the path to the cd is /media/? so why are you trying
to share /media/cdrom(is the cd named cdrom?)?
Either your making things to complicated or I don't understand what you
are doing. Please explain in one syllable terms if possible.
