Hello Michael,
Install samba from /usr/ports/net/samba. You will then access the cdrom
from your win9.x or NT or DOS via your FreeBSD box. However, to write to
the CDROM, you will net to install a few packages from the ports. Namely;
1) /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrecord
2) /usr/ports/sysutils/gcombust <--- Graphical Interface for burning CD's
3) /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs
4) /usr/ports/sysutils/mkhybrid12
I have SCSI cdroms and know for sure that they work. If you have IDE
CDROMs i cannot answer if they will work. As for your Samba installation
put the following in the smb.conf:
[cdrom2]
comment = non-writeable cdrom
path = /cdrom
root preexec = mount /cdrom
root postexec = umount /cdrom
I use the above to mount one of the CDROMs (the non-writeable one) but you
can mount both. Just make another share [cdrom] or
[what-ever-you-want-to-call-it] but keep it to 8 or less characters or you
will get a warning from testparms smb.conf about dos not being able to use
> than 8 characters.
I use dos sometimes and and cd to my j:\cdrom and view, cp and even use
the files.
Hope that helps :-)
