Michael,
Don't know if this will help, but:
I'm playing with mounting CD-ROMs on Win95 boxes scattered around
the office so I can access the pdf files on them from my web server.
(Conference rooms, Print Server, etc..)
Shared the CDs on the machines and used
smbclient -L machine to see the share names.
Created several directories in the /home/httpd/html/cd/cd1 , etc..
and then used:
smbmount //machine/SHARE_CD /home/httpd/html/cd/cd1 -f 555 -d 555
That gets me around the "Permission Denied" msg on the Browsers..
Plugged the smbmount commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and
changed the "backup" tar commands to "smbumount" before backups run.
(funny how short tapes get when you tar off CDs ;) )
Now, gotta fire up a cron script to keep checking for mounted CDs.
Nice thing is, IF someone walks up and ejects the mounted CDs, says
oops, and plugs 'em back in, Linux re-mounts them automagically :-)
NT? dunno.
Hope it helps,
Rick
