Double-click it to login to your Matrix account. A window of your Matrix home directory should open.*Use the mouse to drag and drop files to and from your Matrix account and {{Admon/important|Warning| Make sure that your Windows 7 lab machine.*Once you VMs are satisfied that fully updated before you can easily move files to/from your Matrix account power off the PCbegin this lab.}}*Set the HD selector switch to boot from your Fedora 13 Linux drive and power on the PC.===Connecting to Configuring a Linux SMB Samba Server (Matrix) from a on Linux Client (Fedora 13)===There are 4 ways that a Linux client can connect to an SMB server. Start by logging into *On your Fedora 13 system as joker and opening a terminal window.VM 2 install SambaThe first way is to use the "Places" menu from a Gnome desktop:*Switch to root and ensure you are using the default Fedora 13 firewall.*As root, ensure Samba is installed. Use these two commands: "yum dnf install samba" and "yum install samba-client"**Fedora encrypts passwords when authenticating SMB connections. Unfortunately Windows clients (here at Seneca) insist on passwords being sent in plain text. For this reason Matrix SMB is set to use plain text passwords. To change Fedora to use plain text passwords switch to root and edit Create a backup of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf file , and immediately after create a new one that includes only the following: [global] section header insert these two lines: client plaintext auth workgroup = <yourlearnid>.org server string = "put your real name here without the quotes" encrypt passwords = yes client lanman auth smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd [home] comment = "put your real name here without the quotes" path = /home/<learnid> public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765*Create Now add a new account on Fedora with parameter to the global section that will limit access to the same name as share so that only machines in your LEARN acount. Set virtual network and those in the password lab room will be able to 'seneca99'access it.*Logout of joker and login Add a parameter to Fedora using the home section so that only your LEARN nameuser account can access that share.*Now try Create a Samba password for user <learnid> with the command smbpasswd -a <learnid>*If you need to, you can change a user's password by using the following:command smbpasswd <username>*#From Confirm the "Places" menu at user you created has been added using the top of following command pdbedit -L -v*Test and review your screen, select "Network" and wait until configuration with the network scan completescommand testparm*You can now start your Samba server (smb.

You should now be able  =Connecting to a Linux SMB Server from a Linux Client=There are many ways that a Linux client can connect to browse your Matrix filesan SMB server.

== Using 'mount -t cifs' ==*The second next way is to use a web browser with support for the SMB protocol such as Konquerormount command. If Konqueror is not installed then install it with *Use the mount command: 'yum install kdebase'. Start Konqueror, on the webhost to mount your home directory mkdir /tmp/vm2-home mount -t cifs //file browser, and in the Location edit box enter the following: 'smb:vm2/home /matrixtmp/xxxxxx'. Where xxxxxx is your Matrix vm2-home -o username. Login to your Matrix account. Konqueror should open a window of your Matrix =<learnid> ls /tmp/vm2-home directory. Use the mouse to drag and drop files to and from your Matrix account and your Fedora Linux machine.Close Konqueror.

The third way is to == Using a browser ==*You can also use a web browser with support for the "smbclient" command in a terminal windowSMB protocol such as Konqueror.**Note that firefox does not have such support.At *If Konqueror is not installed then install it with the command prompt enter the following: smbclient '\\matrix\xxxxxx' -U xxxxxxyum install kdebase where xxxxxx is your Matrix usernameYou should get a prompt similar to smb: \>Enter *Start Konqueror, the ls command to see a list of your Matrix files.Enter ? to see a list of smbclient commands.Use web/file browser, and in the get and put commands (similar to ftp) to move files to and from your Matrix account and your Fedora 13 Linux system.When done address bar enter the quit command.followingThe fourth way is to use the mount command. THIS PART IS IN RED BECAUSE IT PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK !Use the mount command to mount your matrix home directory.

Step 4 view configuration parameters and errors in PART B should help you with this. Record this command as you'll need it for PART Dreal-time.PART D: Answer the following questions

List exactly what you had to do on the Windows PC to test your Linux server.Exploration questions:#What is the purpose of the testparm command?What is the purpose of the smbclient command?#What does SMB stand for? CIFS?#What does the text inside square brackets in the smb.conf file mean?
