Ubuntu Samba – Read-Write-FSTAB-Cifs-Mount
This is my current setup for my two Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) boxes. One shares a read/write folder to the other. This is my setup. I think the key to this is having the same username on both computers having access to the files.
You might have to run this on the the folder:
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/files
sudo chown -R usernameonbothcomputers:usernameonbothcomputers /path/to/files
I installed samba by doing: sudo apt-get install samba
/etc/samba/smb.conf : (on the computer serving the files)
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) dns proxy = no interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 bind interfaces only = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam obey pam restrictions = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . pam password change = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root usershare allow guests = yes [MyFiles] path = /path/to/share writable = yes read only = no valid users = usernameonbothcomputers
sudo /etc/init.d/smbd reload
/etc/fstab : (on the computer accessing the files)
//SAMBASHAREsSERVERNAME/MyFiles /path/to/mount cifs users,,noatime,username=usernameonbothcomputers,password=theuserspassword 0 0
You should be able to run this to mount all things in your fstab:
sudo mount -a

Started Using Git SCM For my Darkness is Spreading
So, I setup my own Git repo tonight. This is the exact order of my evening:
First,
I watched Linus Torvald rip all the other SCM’s a new one here:

Then I watched,

Then, I went to http://github.com/ and setup my own public git repository.
(you can make it private, if you pay. but who would want to do that? viva la open source!)
Then I setup a clone of my Darkness is Spreading Game (dis-game):
Public Clone URL: git://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game.git
Github Home Page: http://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game/tree/master
I want to thank github for making things so awesome and easy to setup. They seem to really know a lot about helping n00bs.
Taken from their homepage:
Not only is Git the new hotness, it’s a fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software.
GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease.
