samba - Jul 2000 - Using a Zip drive with Samaba

Has anyone been able to get a zip drive working with samba?  I want to set
up a systsem where the drive gets mounted, in a letter like F: and students
can pop in and out zip disks without having to deal with any unix
interfaces.

Any idea?

Matt,

Just do it like you would do it with a CD:

	root preexec = mount /mnt/zip
	root postexec = umount /mnt/zip

You might also try max connections = 1, which won't magically give you
security, but is better than nothing.
