SUMMARY
Rather than using a permit tree to give users access privileges to a CD-ROM drive, use default permissions: the method is much faster and you don't have to repermit the tree after switching disks.

Permit tree access looks like this:   NET ACCESS D:\ /ADD USERS:RX Instead of that, try:   NET ACCESS D: /ADD USERS:RX Notice that the commands differ in that the second has no backslash for the root (D: / instead of D:\ /). This establishes default permissions, which are used in all directories of the drive where there are no explicit or inherited permissions.

Note: On OS/2 your CD-ROM is shared by the ring3 server, not HPFS386. CDs are not formatted HPFS, so they are controlled by CD IFS.
