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
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.
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.
