- With IBM Lan Server, how is it possible to share removeable media (e.g. CD ROM)
- across the network?? I thought it would be as easy as setting up an alias for
- the CD ROM drive, but no one (except for administrators) can see anything but
- the root directory without an apply. Understandably, I don't want to make
- everyone an administrator, but I don't want to have to do an apply everytime
- someone changes the CD. Besides, applies to CD ROMs take a very, very long
- time!! I'm sure there is some way to do this, but I haven't figured it out.
- Anybody have any suggestions??
