Thanks to the many who responded so quickly (I actually got one reply
before I recieved the original!) and sorry its taken so long for me to
summarize. It was in fact, quite simple. The directory had to be
explicitly exported read only.
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: NFS exporting CD-ROMs?
Hi... This maybe a bit stupid, but I'm having trouble sharing a CD-ROM
via NFS. I mount the cd rom via:
# mount -t cdfs /dev/rz6c /cdrom
which works fine.
I then use nfssetup and tell it to export /cdrom to murray (murray is
defined in /etc/hosts as 10.101.1.23, on our internal network)
>From murray (an SGI Indigo) I can ping and telnet to thira (the alpha)
with no problems, but I can't mount /cdrom. I have never done NFS
before, so I tried to export /tmp using the same method, and I was able
to mount it with no problems from the SGI.
Are there any problems with NFS mounting a CD-ROM? If necessary, I can
copy the files I need from the CD to /tmp on the alpha and then mount
that on the SGI, but I'd rather do it right.
Thanks,
Scott
