Samba

Samba is used on campus to mount your home directory as a network drive. You can then drag/drop files in Windows.

1. Double-click desktop icon “My Computer”
2. Tools → Map Network Drive…
3. Folder: \\samba\homes
4. When prompted, enter your username/password

• This is only available while on the UND Aerospace Campus.

1. Use su - or sudo -s to switch to the root user.
2. Create a directory to use as a mount point, such as /mnt/aerohome
3. Execute mount -t smbfs //samba.aero.und.edu/ldapuser -o username=ldapuser,uid=localuser,gid=localgroup
   • You will be prompted for a password. This is your usual aerospace account password.
   • ldapuser in the above should be your usual Aerospace username.
   • localuser should be a user account on the samba client machine. This user will appear to own all of the files in the samba share.
   • localgroup should be a group on the samba client machine. This group will appear to have group ownership of all files in the samba share.

• Contact the Help Desk to change your password if you're having problems logging in.
