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. Today MEPIS offers personal computing solutions that are popular with people from 2 to 92 years and of all professions. MEPIS products are also available free of charge to not-for-profits, K-12 schools, and private users not requiring support.

Client configuration

PythonIcon.png Skill level: advanced
The instructions on this page may require deviations from standard procedures. A good understanding of linux and Koozali SME Server is recommended.


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
hit spacebar at the grub prompt
change to root=(leave as is) single
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

Administrator Mode

Add Printer > SMB Printer > Normal Account, and enter your SME username and password

Enter your workgroup, servername, and printer name as setup in the /server-manager workgroup and printer panels

Select your Printer from the cups database, check settings and print a test page

Enter the rest of wizard details to suit.

You can monitor your cups printers at YourClientIP:631

Ident

If using Ident Authentication for browsing 

apt-get install ident2


PPTP Connection

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

To Connect to a remote SME Server 

apt-get install pptp-linux kvpnc

K menu > Internet > Connection > VPN Client

Applications

  • Install a subversion client, synaptic -> kdesvn
  • Enable mp3 & multimedia
Synaptic > settings > repositories. Activate the repository for Debian-Multimedia
Then install Libdvdcss2 and w32codecs

Settings

  • Thunderbird, to enable links in email
