sharing files from Windows machines

Posted 05-07-2011 at 07:07 AM by neonsignal

To access files shared from Windows machines, install the package smbfs.

Shares on the other machine can be listed:

Code:

smbclient -L windows_machine

Shares can be mounted to a local mount-point (ie an empty directory):

Code:

smbmount //windows_machine/share share -o user=username

or using mount directly:

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=username //windows_machine/share share

manually setting up a bridge tap into a network

Posted 05-07-2011 at 05:01 AM by neonsignal

The following stanzas are for /etc/network/interfaces. They set up a bridge tap into the network (which I originally used for virtual machines, though most of the VM managers set this up automatically now).

First, we create a bridge:

Code:

iface br0 inet static
   address 192.168.1.2
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   gateway 192.168.1.1
   bridge_ports eth0 tap0

The old interface is changed to manual:

Code:

iface eth0

manually setting up WPA for wireless interfaces

Posted 05-06-2011 at 05:26 AM by neonsignal
Updated 05-06-2011 at 05:31 AM by neonsignal

Since the default wireless interface is typically wlan0, it can be useful to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to set the interface name.

The wireless supplicant daemon is also required:

Code:

apt-get install wpasupplicant

The wpasupplicant entries are stored in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. Entries can be added manually, or using:

Code:

wpa_passphrase ssid key >>/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
