I share a Unix CD-Rom with Win95 using AFPS by defining it as a
filesystem and mounting it. It is then as accessible as any Unix
directory. Works great.

mount the CD and then have AFPS, VisionFS, samba, etc... share that directory
over the network.

: How do you or can you export a cdrom for use on a network in 5.0.4

You should be able to do the following:

1) create a directory to mount the CD onto (/cdrom comes to mind)
2) mount -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom (assumes the first cdrom drive)
3) edit /etc/exports and add a line that contains:

/cdrom

4) as root run the 'exportfs -a' command to re-export all NFS
filesystems

On reboots, /cdrom will be exported, but you will have to manually
mount the /dev/cd0 onto /cdrom (or put it in a script).

If you don't have NFS enabled, then you would have to do that first.
