How to share a CD/DVD ROM drive?


I want to share my dvd drive across a network (sharing the folder didnt work). i have tried using fstab but it didnt really work. could u guys gimme some ideas regarding this?

my current fstab reads:

Quote:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=1e75728e-51c0-49f1-bde9-daae5ed5f125 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=516ce0b4-abc5-4c97-aa4e-75eff2919be2 none swap sw 0 0

May also be able to mount it to ftp or nfs. Could even use some other ways such as telnet or ssh or putty. Netcat or others too.
