Description (last modified by geofft) (diff)
There's a dfsclient in the samba locker; it's cool, and quite helpful. But, Debathena should be able to mount CIFS directly and show them in a way accessible through the GUI and through the standard UNIX file system, without any effort, via the smbclient package (which is installed by default on Ubuntu and Debian graphical). This would make accessing your WIN.MIT.EDU files on Athena really easy. We should either make some UI for mounting your DFS homedir, or document the process to do it manually.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
In fact, they have; all I need to run is
to get smbclient's ftp-like interface.
