[tlug] Share CD burner on Samba?

[Jonathan Q <jq@example.com>]

It seems like this ought to be possible, and googling has yielded a certain 
amount of circumstantial evidence that it is, but nothing as concrete as a 
"Yes, here's how it's done." 

I currently have it it set up as a Samba share and want to map it as a network 
drive on Windows XP & 2000 clients to use for installing software over the 
network (not all of our workstations have CDROM drives) and also for burning 
software.  However, when I tried mapping it as a network drive on one XP 
client, the client saw it as an NFTS drive with no files.  In fact, there was 
a music CD in the drive at the time.

If anyone has set up a burner this way, what did you do?

TIA,

J
