Setting up cifs client to talk to Windows 2000/XP/2003 machines. Common Internet File System (CIFS) is the protocol that Microsoft are gradually replacing all SMB communications with. From http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/faq/Samba-meta-FAQ-3.html : “If you consider CIFS as a backwardsly-compatible refinement of SMB that will work reasonably efficiently over the Internet you won’t be too far wrong.” Note: All testing done using Debian unstable (Sid) with 2.6.2 kernel with option CONFIG_CIFS=y. Head to http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/samba/source/client/mount.cifs.c and grab the latest source (1.7 at time of writing). Compile the source into a binary and move it into /sbin
IntroductionThis page details the steps needed to get Knoppix running as a pure Debian system. The ProcedureThe following is a modified extract of an e-mail I sent to HantsLUG… Knoppix, like Debian, uses its own packages and specific .debs, which are nothing to do with Debian at all. Because of this, the route into Debian is controlled from the file /etc/apt/sources.list . This lists the location of the repositories where all the packages are so that apt can access them. My version of /etc/apt/sources.list for my version of Knoppix relies heavily on the [continued…] When: 10:30 – 17:00, Saturday 3rd April 2004 Where: Seminar Room 1, Building 59 (Zepler), Department of Electronics & Computer Science, Southampton University.

This is work in progress THIS IS BROKEN Apologies to those people thinking this page would answer all their questions. I currently don’t have the card working. When I next get some hacking time it’ll go in another box, and see if it fares any better… Although it sounds like it is fully up and running, I’m still compiling, I’m writing my thoughts as I go along, so I don’t forget them! I have an Avermedia AVerTV DVB-T card in my debian(unstable)/freevo mini-itx based set-top box. I chose this card as it appears to be [continued…] Having configured the kernel in the previous stage, you can now fire up the audio controller of your choice (aumix, alsamixer, kmix or gnome-alsamixer) and adjust the volumes to your liking. In my experience, the alsaconf utility will have set the volume to zero and muted levels to start out and following a reboot. After you have everything configured to your liking, you should store the settings with the command: 1. /usr/sbin/alsactl store That will enable you change the settings all you want after saving them, and always be able to fall back to a known [continued…] Having configured the kernel in the previous stage, you can now fire up the audio controller of your choice (aumix, alsamixer, kmix or gnome-alsamixer) and adjust the volumes to your liking.

Linux AdvocacyFirstly note that this page is *not* designed to be any of the following;
What is is envisaged to be is a resource for the ‘Soon-to-be’ Linux user or ‘Newbie’ who needs help in the transition from another OS or platform to Linux. So this will include, but not be limited to;
This page details setting up secure access to a LAN using the OpenVPN software. This software is designed to offer secure connections to clients on untrusted networks, for example the internet or wireless networks. Unlike the IPSec technologies that involve reconfiguring the TCP/IP stack, OpenVPN runs in userspace and establishes a separate network connection for encrypted traffic. The OpenVPN homepage is at http://openvpn.sourceforge.net. The scenario detailed in this page is concerned with setting up a Debian Linux system as an OpenVPN server to protect the LAN from unauthorised access and provide VPN bridge [continued…] |
