[Nelug] Sharing CD-ROM over Samba on Fedora 9

[Richard Patterson]

Hi Daniel,

First off, try looking in the logs (in /var/log/samba), it might give 
you a clue as to what the problem is.

Does the directory you are sharing exist?

I copied your [cdrom] section into my samba config, and was prompted for 
username / password, then an error "System error 53 has occurred. The 
network path was not found."

Once I created /cdrom, i was able to connect without a problem...

Hope this helps,

Richard
