==About Mepis==

http://www.mepis.com 

MEPIS LLC was founded in 2002 by computer industry veteran Warren Woodford, to realize his personal vision for a version of Linux that was complete and secure, while also being easy to try, easy to install, and easy to use.

MEPIS products are also available free of charge to not-for-profits, K-12 schools, and private users not requiring support.

==Client configuration==
SME Server's has been and remains focused on serving windows clients, however Linux clients also work well with SME Server. 

These instructions are  current for Mepis 7.0 and SME Server 7.3

Client configuration was originally based on http://tech.canterburyschool.org/tech/UbuntuWorkstations.

===Domain Login===
A Domain login lets users login without admin setting up each user first.

====Client configuration====
 apt-get install winbind libpam-mount

 nano -w /etc/samba/smb.conf
 
 workgroup = 'Your Windows workgroup'  # probably correct, you set this during install
 security = domain                     # edit, set to user
 wins server 192.168.1.1               # edit, to your server IP
 ;password server = *                  # remove line
 winbind uid = 10000-20000
 winbind gid = 10000-20000
 template shell = /bin/bash
 template homedir = /home/%U
 winbind enum users = yes
 winbind enum groups = yes
 winbind cache time = 10
 winbind separator = /
 winbind use default domain = yes
 acl compatibility = winnt

 nano -w /etc/nsswitch.conf
 
 passwd: compat winbind 
 group: compat winbind
 shadow: compat winbind
 hosts:  files wins dns

 nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-account
 
 account sufficient      pam_winbind.so
 account required        pam_unix.so

 nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-auth
 
 auth    required        pam_mount.so
 
 ## will validate ONLY off of network
 #auth   required        pam_winbind.so use_first_pass
 
 ## will validate off of EITHER network or local passwd db
 auth    sufficient      pam_winbind.so use_first_pass
 auth    required        pam_unix.so use_first_pass

 nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-session
 
 session required        pam_unix.so
 session required        pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel/
 session optional        pam_mount.so

 optional, do later if needed, add to
 nano -w /etc/hosts
 192.168.1.1         YourServername

 /etc/init.d/samba restart
 /etc/init.d/winbind restart

If you misconfigure a file and lock yourself out of the workstation <br>
hit spacebar at the grub prompt  <br>
change to root=(leave as is) single <br>
login as root and check your config files

====Connect to domain====
on SME 7.3 and above

On the client [''Workgroup'' is your SME Server Workgroup]
and admin may be any user in the 'domain-admin' group
 net rpc join -D '''WorkGroup''' -U admin

Log out, and now you should have all your SME Users in your login 'user list'

====Mounting Shares====
pam_mount works well if you use domain logins, other methods are too much trouble.

mount your server home directory and ibays 

 nano -w /etc/security/pam_mount.conf
 
 volume * smbfs servername  &     /home/&/Desktop/&      uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - -
 volume * smbfs servername  ibay1 /home/&/Desktop/ibay1  uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - -

===Printing===
Printing to your SME Server depends on your printers being supported by cups

'''cupsd'''

When you install mepis, when asked you should elect to run cupsd

check and if necessary change with
 ls -la /etc/rc5.d/???cupsys
 cd /etc/rc5.d
 mv K??cupsys S20cupsys

'''Configure printer'''

K menu > Settings > Peripherals > Printers
