Samba and CD shared

Hi,
      I recently upgrade my Linux to 2.0.29 version and samba 1.9.16p10.
      Now, my cdrom (Sony CD33A) directory is a share, but I can't run any program or open any file from W95. Win reports:

      Can not open the file..... when I make a double-click in a .txt file
      The media is write-protected... when I make double-click in a .exe file

      I can browse th cd perfectly.
      All others shares over ext2 and msdos FS are OK.

It sounds to me like the permissions have changed. make sure that the permissions for the shared CD drive have the read, write and execute bits set on it

ie chmod 777 username sharedir

This should fix the problem.

Permission has not changed, and are equal to oders shares

Right,,
      Seems like this is a problem with the smb.conf file..

Heres the cdrom bit from mine..

[CDROM]
      comment = cdorm
      path = /mnt/cdrom
      public = yes
      writable = yes
      printable = no
      write list = @staff

try that ..

I try with

write list = @staff

and

write list = fsimo

It doesn't work. The other params are same.
Thanks anyway

Could it be a problem with upper and lowercase filenames?
I had the same problem once on a harddrive with '95 clients.
Adding the entries case sensitive = no to smb.conf solved
the problems in my case.

I'm very sorry, but nothing seems work.

I'll get the source distribution and recompile it

Try a read only share device , make sure that your cdrom is mount before starting samba and try this configuration ...

[CDROM]
comment = cdorm
path = /mnt/cdrom
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no

Hi

I have the same problem, my solution was to install the MARS-NWE
Novell server emulation and it worked fine
This software can be found at

When you omunted the cdrom under linux is it mounted RO (read-only) for local users to that system. My guess is that there is a file perms problem still and it could well have something to do with the mount. Check your mount parameters and let me know how you go...

Hi Jason Unicorntech,

i had the same problem with Samba but not with marsnwe.
So i think it has nothing to do with permissions.

No... The permissions are allways RO for a RO device.
I have Samba for 2 years and never have this problem with CD.
Now, I download the latest Samba source I will recompile it...
How konows?
