Hello All,

My query was :-

>Machine_1 Machine_2
>Sun CD-Rom drive Solaris 2.3
>Solaris 2.3
>In /etc/dfs/dfstab : 'share -F nfs -o ro=Machine_2 -d "CD-Rom" /cdrom'
>
> Insert CD into drive. Wait while vold does the necessary. On
>Machine 2 type 'cd /net/Machine_1/cdrom'. Two directories appear - the

>either and the directory tree appears and so on.

First past the post : Koen Peeters <koen@ciminko.be>

     The key file is /etc/rmmount.conf where 'share cdrom*' (or a suitable
variant) needs to be added. I neglected to mention that it wasn't really
an upgrade to 2.4, more of a complete install so this line, present in 2.3,
was not carried over. I didn't add it for 2.3 but that's no excuse because
rmmount.conf is referenced in the vold.conf man page.

Thanks to Koen and anyone who replies after this summary goes out.

David.
