We've got meeting on the 8th of August!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting and a topic idea! We've got a meeting on the 8th! During the last couple of meetings, we've had a couple of new users come by and it was clear to me that we were going into the higher level linux concepts, many of which were flying over their heads. I was thinking it might be really good to have a back to basics wlug meeting, where we get in get into unix philosophy, what a distro is, what parts make up a distro, common things people deal with, etc. Yeah, nah? I'm also trying to turn a page here and start the conversation about the meeting more than say.. 2 days before the meeting so the meetings can continue to have their ruckus nature, but actually have some bit of structure! Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Happy Sysadmin day!

I've had a few disk failures this week running up to today's 'holiday' which nobody a WPI seems to be aware of. In all it's been pretty boring, which is JUST FINE for me. On 7/26/24 4:08 PM, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Happy Sysadmin day!

Happy Sysadmin day! I hope your day has been less eventful than mine! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Be careful, you want to mount as one or the other if at all possible. Otherwise there leads madness since the NFS persmission and CIFS permissions aren't really compatible. > I am currently using multicast DNS addresses in the addresses in my > mount command and I do not want to use the numeric style IP > addresses that seems to be required for /etc/fstab. Why? What does this buy you? Do you not have local DNS setup on your home LAN network? > Does anyone have suggestions where to place this mount command > script? This command seems to needs root access, which may limit > where the script with command will be placed. You shouldn't need a script, just add it properly into your /etc/fstab file. But are you trying to access this NAS from both home and while you're at the local coffee shop? So I have my home directory on my home server exported and mounted on a desktop, so when I login to either 'sail' or 'quad' I have the same files. So on sail (a Linux Mint Distro system) I just have: quad:/home /home nfs _netdev,auto,vers=3 0 0 in my /etc/fstab file. And of course I have an entry for quad in /etc/hosts as well, even though it's also in my local network DNS as well. Better safe than sorry. So anyway, the above mount tab entry mounts it on system bootup. John

Where do I put mount script?

by Kevin Stratton

I have a NAS that I am able to mount using NFS and I suspect that I can also mount as CIFS. I am currently using multicast DNS addresses in the addresses in my mount command and I do not want to use the numeric style IP addresses that seems to be required for /etc/fstab. Does anyone have suggestions where to place this mount command script? This command seems to needs root access, which may limit where the script with command will be placed.

I'll probably pass for now. I'm too much of a nethack/crawl/moria type of gamer. :-) Though I have to admit I've spent some time playing 'naev' which sorta reminds me of the classic 'elite' but without the 3-d graphics. https://github.com/naev/naev Not amazingly fast development, but it's a fun thing to play with. > On Thu, Jul 11, 2024, 5:53 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey everybody! > We've got a WLUG meeting this Thursday at technocopia! > Time: 7pm > Date: July 11th 2024 > Location: 44 Portland St. Worcester MA > Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA > Topic(s): > SSH exploits > There's been plenty of talk about Ubuntu upgrades, it's worth talking about various backup > strategies and options that are out there.

Awesome! That would be really cool to see! Also, yes, the data on that page is VERY outdated! I'll get on fixing that! Also, my CC just got hit with a charge for Meetup, so I might as well keep that up to date as well! Thanks, Tim.
