A typical atomic family = 2 parents and 2.5 kids. In the typical household or office you have multiple users. What does this mean for you? It means that every individual using the shares either needs to login with one username (the one you created to administer the Ubuntu box originally) or you’ll need to create some users so they can all use their own username and password. Just like every other Operating System, Ubuntu is a Multi-User Operating System. I know I haven’t covered this users thing yet so lets get right to the point. If you plan on doing more than multimedia, you’ll want to create some public folders for all your users to access. Add all the folder locations you want to share.Īt this point, it’s a good idea to decide if you’ll be using this server for multimedia only or if you have grander plans to use this server as a full-blown file server extraordinaire. Feel free to copy my options as they work well for this deployment. Take a look and decide what options you’ll want to use. Within the default fault file, you’ll see a list of the available options. Please note that the “options:usedots,upriv,tm” are my personal choices. opt/multimedia “Multimedia” cnidscheme:dbd options:usedots,upriv If you created folders under the /opt/ folder, as I explained in the last post, here’s how the syntax for the multimedia folder would look:
Let’s break this down into something that makes a little more sense. Here is the syntax you’ll need to use when adding share locations: /full/file/path/location“Name of Share” Options:options options: Wait, what was that about users? Don’t worry, we’ll cover users soon. Now, navigate down to the end of the file.īy default users have access to their home directory. Use the command below to launch nano and start editing: sudo nano /etc/netatalk/fault
Netatalk user password full#
You’ll need to have the full path of your new folders handy so we can make them available on the network. In our last episode, we created folders to store your media. Wow, wasn’t that simple? Oh wait, there’s configuration, right,? Well, yes, but not much.
Netatalk user password install#
Here’s How: The first step is to install Netatalk.įrom the command line type in the following command: sudo apt-get install netatalk
Netatalk is an open source project that will turn your simple Linux box into an AppleTalk file server. The available machines show up in the Side Bar automatically, this works for SMB or Windows machines, as well. In the Mac world, AppleTalk is the protocol that allows Macs to see each other with zero configuration. You now should have a great place to store all your media but you have no way of getting it all there. Picking up from where I left off on my last post, “Entertainment, Backups and a Whole Lot More,”
