fusers -v /cdrom
lsof /cdrom
lsof /dev/cdrom
something like that, works with drive/partitions to, check out the man pages
for lsof and fuser

Why would you be typing netbios names in a Netscape window, IIRC the only
thing that uses netbios names is smb. I think you might be talking about
DNS. If you are referering to DNS, put your name server address in
/etc/resolv.conf something like this
#cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.17.2
namserver 192.168.17.3
nameserver 192.168.17.4
check the man page for the exact sytanx for this file. There is also a DNS
how-to.
