Thanks for the help. The original question:

> MachineB - The filer
> MachineC - Another server w/o CD Rom that is on par with the filer.

The Solution:

I modified the /etc/rmmount.conf file and added (on MachineA):

share cdrom*

I then made sure my NFSD was running.

I then went to MachineC and did:

mount MachineA:/cdrom /cdrom

I then ejected the CD and re inserted it on MachineA, and voila, it
seems to be working fine.

Regards and thanks.
