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.

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===
 
===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
 +
 +

    +
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
 +

 +
 +
session required        pam_unix.so
 +
session required        pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel/

 +
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 - -
