Then disable the automount options for the CD drive(s). In Gnome:
System->Preferences->Hardware->Removable Drives and Media
Uncheck "Mount removable media when inserted". Note that from now on,
you'll have to manually mount the media, and there will NOT be a /media
entry for the drive to mount to. To solve:
1. Create something like "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" and export that via Samba.
2. When you have a CD you want to share, "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom".
