Apple Mac OS X connect to SMB (samba/CIFS) share. Go Connect to Server. Smb://servername/sharename (in this case, acfiles is 10.1.16.112 currently). OS X clients communicate with Isilon nodes using the SMB protocol or the NFS protocol (OS X 10.4 must use the NFS protocol). Both protocols provide access to network storage according to each.

Working (or living) within a Linux-based network is become more and more commonplace. And with the popularity of Mac OS X rising, Apple-based computers have to play well inside a network. With the help of Samba this is not only possible, it's easy to configure and establish. Let's take a look at how an OS X computer connects to a.

Before we get started I wanted to make note that this is not an in-depth article on setting up. We will touch base on getting Samba up and running so the Mac OS X machine can connect to it, but primarily this is about OS X's ability to connect. This blog post is also available in PDF form as a. Basic Samba configuration The first thing you need to do is set up the Samba Security mode. This is located (in Fedora-based Linux distributions) in /etc/samba and the file is called smb.conf.

You will have to have root access in order to make these modifications. So open up a console window, su to root, and open up the smb.conf file in your favorite editor.

For example: In my home network I use the 192.168.1.x address scheme. You might also want to allow for all localhosts. Now scroll on down further in the smb.conf file to locate the [homes] section.

A lot has changed in that time, most notably the rise of The Sims as the studio's biggest game and the acquisition of Maxis by Electronic Arts (EA). Sims 3 ambitions free download for mac. Requirements PC Requirements OPERATING SYSTEM: XP SP2 / Vista SP1 / Windows 7, 8, 10 PROCESSOR: (WINDOWS XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Windows Vista and Windows 7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent RAM: For XP 1 GB RAM / Windows Vista and Windows 7 1.5 GB RAM* Hard Drive: At least 8.1GB of hard drive space. Video: 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 * For NVIDIA ION™ computers, the game requires at least 2 GB RAM.

This is where you configure the default location that will contain those logging into the Samba share. A typical configuration will look like Listing A.

Listing A [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes read only = no public = yes Now the above section can cause you some security issues. You will want to make sure your network is secure and that the data housed in this Share isn't critical information. Because you are making it available to anyone that has a Samba login name/password. Granted you get a modicum of control by only giving Samba usernames/passwords to trusted users.

For basic Samba configuration that is all you need to do with smb.conf. Now you need to add Samba users and passwords. These users and passwords will be used when a user attempts to log onto a Samba share from the Mac OS X machine. To add a Samba user you will run (on the Linux machine as root) the smbpasswd command: smbpasswd -a USERNAME At which point you will be prompted (twice) to enter a password. Once that is done you are ready to fire up the Samba daemon. To start the Samba daemon issue the command (again as root) /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start which will start up Samba. You should get no errors.

Now you are ready to hop on over to your Mac OS X machine. Connecting from Mac OS X The first thing you need to do is open up a Finder window. ( Figure A) Figure A Your standard Finder window To quickly start a connection hit the [Apple] key and the [K] key together. You will then be prompted to enter a server address.

As you can see in Figure B, you will enter the actual server IP address preceded by smb:// once you enter the information click OK. Figure B If you hit the + sign you can add this Samba server to your favorites list making connecting even easier Now you are ready to select your SMB mount point. As we have configured in smb.conf our only available mount point is homes as shown in Figure C. So click OK to continue. Figure C If there are more mount points configured in smb.conf they will appear in the drop down list Now you will be prompted for the username/password you added with the smbpasswd command as shown in Figure D.
