This allow one of the other servers here to access the CDROM on this one.
As is would appear, the 'cdrom' directory is shared for the srv1 machine,
read only.
Good luck, hope this helps.

Is there a way to securely delete
Under the FAT16 system when a file is deleted, it's only removed from the
FAT. Though the file appears gone, it still remains on the drive.
When something is removed on a Linux box using the rm command, is the file
gone for good or is it just removed from view while it remains on the disk?
