Accessing your home directory

From MSCF

(To be written)

Basically you want to mount the CIFS share \\mscf5u.msc.uky.edu\EUsers on your machine using one of

• samba's mount.cifs (I recommend downloading the newest mount.cifs and umount.cifs from http://linux-cifs.samba.org/cifs/cifs_download.html)

sudo mv *.cifs /sbin

sudo chmod +x /sbin/*.cifs

sudo chown root /sbin/*.cifs

mkdir -p ~/mounts/Users

sudo mount -t cifs -ousername=YourWindowsUserName,uid=YourLocalUserName,file_mode=0700,dir_mode=0700 //mscf5u.msc.uky.edu/EUsers ~/mounts/Users

• GNOME/KDE's graphical file manager

Attach to smb://mscf5u/EUsers or so

• FUSE usermode filesystem such as "usmb" making an xml file with the connection info, etc.

You could also just depend on the t-machine using sshfs like mkdir -p ~/remote ; sshfs YourUserName@t2.ms.uky.edu: ~/remote after having an administrator (perhaps you) type something like sudo apt-get install sshfs on Debian or Ubuntu linux. This is rumored to work on macs too.

In Ubuntu

Using nautilus, the Location bar you can type in the address smb://mscf5u.msc.uky.edu/eusers/$dept/$username

Mounting the folder through Gnome-vfs, replace $username with windows username and $dept with either ma, stat, magrad, statgrad, or staff.

In Ubuntu, if the need arises to login to the t-machine (this has happened to some users when logging in from home), choose ssh instead of windows share and login to t.ms.uky.edu.
