[TriLUG] remote-mount of cdrom

[Michael Hrivnak]

Folks,

I'm trying to remotely mount a CD drive.  My first thought was to mount it in 
home directory on remote server as ~/somecd/ and then use samba to mount it 
on the local machine.  It works, except the directory containing the cd shows 
up as empty.  On the remote end, the CD is readable.  A cruise through "man 
smb.conf" didn't give me any clues.  What's the best way to do this?

It may suffice to just access the files, but it's a picky piece of software 
that's protected against copying, so it may want direct drive access.  I'm 
not sure what the difference is, but it's a Windows program running on 
Transgaming's software.  FYI, the disk in question is one I forgot to bring 
along with me on my month-long stay in NY, but I own it fair and square.

Thanks!

Michael
