[ubuntu-uk] commands to navigate a windows network for a script - fstab and domains...

Could anyone offer me some pointers as to how I should write this script, particularly with reference to how I get on to navigate the windows network? Thanks, Doug. Presumably you'd want your backup script to copy the data to the Windows machine with the tape drive on it? What you'll need to do is mount a share on the Window server. If you install the smbfs package you'll be able to use either smbmount or mount with the type cifs or smbfs (although IIRC smbfs is being replaced by cifs). I normally do this when backing up machines using Partimage on the System Rescue CD. I'd enter a command such as... sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myusername,password=mypassword //server/share /mnt/mountpoint Where myusername is the username of the user who is connecting to the share, mypassword is the users password, you can also store the password in a password file. If it was me I'd create a basic user with limited access to just the one share and nothing else, that way if the password was compromised then it should in theory limit the access that that particular user can access. I believe you can also specify a domain too using domain=mydomain. //server/share is the address of the server and the share name, this can also be an ip address for instance //192.168.0.1/myshare Note the slashes are forward slashes rather than backslashes but still are double slashes (//). Finally /mnt/mountpoint points to a mount point on the Linux box running the script. To unmount the share just use sudo umount /mnt/mountpoint If you're always going to use the same share you could also put the details in fstab which should then resolve the need to mount the share as root (using sudo). You can find plenty of information too in the smbmount man page (man smbmount) after you have installed the smbfs package. Basically once the share is mounted on the Linux filesystem then it should work pretty much like any other file or directory although anything you store in there will be owned by the user you used to mount the share. Hope this helps. Rob __ I have a Linux box at work (shs, don't tell anyone!!) and had to navigate the Windows domain to get to the normal shares... I used FSTab file in /etc to map these drives for me automatically. Steps I did: 1. Create a Map dir on linux like /home/MyWinShare1 2.

If you're not firewalled, you can utilise Pidgin to connect to IRC as per our little guide on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/IRC .

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 8.10 - upgrade of svn to 1.5 or 1.6
I just upgraded my Ubuntu machine which I mainly use for my svn repository. Reason to upgrade was to get of svn 1.4.3 to something more recent, i.e. 1.5.x or even better 1.6.1. Was searching around but have not found instructions on how to get svn upgraded - note that I am still pretty new to Linux/Ubuntu. Only thing I found was sudo apt-get upgrade subversion but the post was not clear if the person actually got it fully working (i.e. he posted that command but then stated that he run into problems).
