I would like to make the CDROM on my NeXT available for mounting by other  
(non-NeXT) systems on the network. I have exported the CDROM directory and  
made sure that nfsd and mountd are running. When I try to mount it from  
another system I get an error message: "mount: access denied for ---"  
where --- is my system and directory name. I have tried exporting and  
mounting other file systems from the NeXT, and it works fine.

A second question along the same lines is whether there is a way to get  
the CDROM to always mount under the same mount point (eg /cdrom) instead  
of under a mount point which is related to the name of the disk. The  
reason I would like to do this is so that the CDROM can always be mounted  
from another system by using the same name (assuming that I can mount it  
at all!).

Your comments would be welcomed.
