Hello NG, my network consists of AD/2003 as LDAP Server, SuSE 10.0 and xp clients and SuSE 9.3 Samba/NFS-Fileserver for the homes of SuSE clients and Samba shares for the Xp clients. My problem is the cd-rom samba share. All other samba shares except the cd-rom share are working for me. If I open the network environment in the windows explorer of a succeded logon xp client, I can access all shares except the cd-rom share. At accessing the cd-rom share in the windows explorer, I am getting no errormessage, but the directories and files of the shared cd do not appeare in the right side side of the win explorer. The right part of the windows exlorer is empty. The cd-rom section in the smb.conf is: [cdrom] path = /media/cdrom read only = yes browseable = yes locking = no Best regards and many thanks Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Perhaps a stupid question: you are sure you DID mount the cdrom on the linux console? If I do not mount it (or umount it) a can confirm the symptom you are describing. ------------------------- Felix Andreas Bauer wrote: AB> Hello NG, AB> my network consists of AD/2003 as LDAP Server, SuSE 10.0 and xp AB> clients and SuSE 9.3 Samba/NFS-Fileserver for the homes of SuSE clients and AB> Samba AB> shares for the Xp clients.

If you have more than one CDROM on your machine, the correct share
path might be something like
path = /media/cdrom1

There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of
the vast majority by adequate governmental action.

Not a fix but a suggestion: rip the CD to an ISO file and mount it as a loopback device. Share the loopback mount point and you will have much improved performance over sharing the CD directly. Chris
