    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?

    Re: Use CD burner over the network

    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:
    Code:
    # 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 [email protected] "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 [email protected] "cdrecord -speed=4  dev=0,0,0 -"
    
    # to burn an ISO 
    ssh [email protected] "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.
