Setting Up to Map to Your Burrow AccountFor C335, all of the file data that you generate will be stored on your burrow account. There is a tool called Samba running on the burrow machine "paca" (also running on "moose" and "whale") that allows a MS Windows machine to manipulate file information in a UNIX file system. When you attempt to map your burrow home directory (\\paca\your_user_name) from the lab machines, Samba uses the IUB-NT domain as the primary means of authenticating your request to access this resource. If the IUB-NT domain authentication fails, Samba uses a local password file.It has been found that there are reliability issues with Samba when using the IUB-NT domain for authentication. In about 1 out every 10 attempts to map a drive, Samba will erroneously report that the username or password is invalid. Once Samba fails in this way, further attempts to map a drive from this machine will fail for approximately 5 minutes. Using the local Samba password file for authentication appears to eliminate this issue. A utility has been created that will allow you to add yourself to the local Samba password file for the Samba process running on "paca". The following is a list of steps to go through to run this utility from the machines in the lab. 1.) Connect to paca.cs.indiana.edu using SSH.
Note: To change your smb password after you have run makesmbpasswd,
use the command "smbpasswd" . You will be prompted through
the password change process.
