View Full Version : Use CD burner over the network

Hi all,
cdrecord on the Knoppix CD comes with a tool called "rscsi" that allows to share the CD burner over the network.
However, it seems that rscsi is configured in a very restrictive way out of the box and refuses all connections. I always get "Connection refused".
Has anyone got it to work?

rscsi (I think) needs rlogin, and disallowing logins may be a firewall / iptables thing. Anyhow, see:

rlogin on Knoppix is just a link to ssh. Thanks for the readme file, I have already tried to understand it (wit no success) but I will continue to try.

you could login with ssh and use the X-forwarding, that will open the program on the remote machine but you will see it on your side.

This is how I finally did it:
# examples for using a CD burner remotely (using just ssh)
# on the machine with the CD burner ("server", in this example 10.0.0.1),
# sshd must be running and you must be able to
# log in to the server using ssh
# 4x speed works just fine over a 10 Mbit network
# erase CDRW
ssh root@10.0.0.1 "cdrecord -blank=fast dev=0,0,0"
# to burn just simply one single file, e. g. a movie
# without joliet or other fancy stuff
mkisofs /mnt/hda2/movie.avi | ssh root@10.0.0.1 "cdrecord -speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -"
# to burn an ISO
ssh root@10.0.0.1 "cdrecord -speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -" < /mnt/hda1/xxx.iso

Note - if using ssh, you may want to use protocol 2 and the "blowfish" cipher to speed things up:
' ssh -2 -X -c blowfish -l dave 10.0.0.2 $* '
--Also note that allowing people to login as root over ssh is a security hole, but you prolly already knew that. ;-)
