Hi Max,
Please explain in one syllable terms if possible.
I want to share the cdrom drive over the network.
Why don't you just copy the contents of the cd to a folder and share
the folder with samba?
Cause I dont just want to share 1 particular cd, if I did then that
would be one way to achieve it.
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?)?
The path to the cd isn't /media at all I never said that.... xfce that
comes with fedora mounts the cdrom in /media/<enter name of cdrom here>/
I want to be able to access any cd I put in the drive via samba and I
was told that I would need to get samba to mount the cd in one single
folder which name would never change i.e. /media/cdrom the gui that
comes with fedora mount the cdrom differently in that the folder is the
name of the cdrom which makes it very difficult to share the cdrom as
the folder name keeps changing.
The lines I posted below are meant to mount/unmount the cdrom in the
same folder each and everytime when I try to access it but I dont know
how to get these to work.
root preexec = /sbin/mount /media/cdrom
root postexec = /sbin/umount /media/cdrom
Which brings me back to the below comment from the smb.conf file.
# 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.

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

/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.

It might help you.

I was just wondering if any of you have any experience of sharing a
cd-rom
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
working, but am kinda stuck as to what else I could do from where I
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)?

Either your making things to complicated or I don't understand what
you are doing. Please explain in one syllable terms if possible.
