Thanks to cesa!leo@Sun.COM For solving my problem in a very timely
fashion. Here is his response:
Hi!
What happens is that Solaris 2.x uses a different mecanism that
permits the use of CDs in a more flexible way (a least that is the
intention :-)
The default is to use the Volume Management. It is started at boot
time by the /etc/init.d/volmgt (or more properly by /etc/rc2.d/
S92volmgt) script, that in turn starts the vold daemon.
Maybe you had note that now the CDROMs are mounted in directories
with unique names, using the disc label if it's possible, like
the directory /cdrom/sol_2_4_hw1194_sparc you named.
If you want to export (or share) that CDROM, then you must share
that unique directory, in this case, /cdrom/sol_2_4_hw1194_sparc,
that normally is remote mounted in a directory with the same name.
Doing this with every CDROM you want to share permits to
freely change the CDROMs, without root permissions and without the
need to reexport every time you do it.
