→Connecting to a Linux SMB Server from a Linux Client
===Connecting to a Linux SMB Server from a Linux Client===
There are many ways that a Linux client can connect to an SMB server.
#The second way is to use a web browser with support for the SMB protocol such as Konqueror.
#*If Konqueror is not installed then install it with the command: 'yum install kdebase'.
#***where xxxxxx is your your Matrix username.
#*If the previous step worked, browse your /mnt directory using cd and ls commands and when done use the umount command to unmount your Matrix home directory.
#The first way is to use the "Places" menu from a Gnome desktop:
#*As root, ensure Samba is installed. Use these two commands: "yum 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 the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and immediately after the [global] section header insert these two lines:
#**client plaintext auth = yes
#**client lanman auth = yes
#*Create a new account on Fedora with the same name as your LEARN acount. Set the password to 'seneca99'.
#*Logout of joker and login to Fedora using your LEARN name.
#*Now try the following:
#*From the "Places" menu at the top of your screen, select "Network" and wait until the network scan completes. Then click on the "Windows Network" and then click the "File" menu and select "Connect to Server", change the service type to "Windows Share" and input matrix.senecac.on.ca for the server, your username for the ShareName and UserName fields. Then click the Connect button. You should now be able to browse your Matrix files.
