Hello--
Can anybody tell me how, if it's even possible, to write a CD directly from a windows machine using a CD writer on a linux box via SAMBA? The writer is set up as a samba share and I can see it from the windows machine, even read files on a CD, but I can't get the windows machine to recognize it as a writer, only as a read-only drive. I don't know if it is possible via Samba - but I do know of the following program which may help as an alternative:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/webcdwriter/ About: "webCDwriter can be used to make the CD- and DVD-writer(s) connected to a Linux box available to all users in your network. It consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the CD-writer using cdrecord. webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs within your browser or by Java Web Start, assists you when putting together a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line client that tries to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the network with full multi-user support." jon
