Note-This is only available to linux clients on the University Network. This can not be done from a home machine or from off campus networks!
1. Login to your Linux machine as root
2. Make a temporary directory to hold the mount point
mkdir /var/tmp/mount_point
3. Mount the Mathematical Sciences network. You'll be prompted for your Mathematical Sciences password.
mount -t cifs -o username=username,workgroup=DIVMS //pcnfs.divms.uiowa.edu/username /var/tmp/mount_point
where username is your DIVMS username.
On older systems, you'll need to replace cifs with smbfs
4. When you're done, make sure you umount the /var/tmp/mount_point directory to unmount the smbmount point. For additional help see: man mount and man smbmount or man mount.cifs
umount /var/tmp/mount_point
Notes: We do not recommend making this mount permanent as it requires storing your DIVMS password in plain text on your system (either in the /etc/fstab file or another one). If your machine is compromised, the attacker will have access to your DIVMS account and everything you can access (files/email/etc).
