10/14   Free/shareware NFS client or server available for NT4?  Searched but
        only found somewhat pricey commercial overkill products.  I just want
        to get my unix and NT machines talking both directions without using
        smbclient on the unix side.  Thanks.
        \_ how about using samba and doing serving from the unix side and
           native smb mounts on the NT side?
           \_ what if I want to give users access to their data stored on
              an NFS mountable drive when they are working at an NT?
              \_ Make the nfs mountable drive also samba mountable.  SMB is
                 'nfs for windows' since microsoft always needs to have their
                 'own standard'.
           \_ [grr at whoever deleted my reply] I've got samba running but
              it's painfully slow for some reason.  I've used samba many
              times before but never had this problem.  Also, I'm not running
              Linux.  I don't have native smbfs support.
              \_ I recall reading something once about tuning problems
                 many people have when they don't turn off one of the link
                 following options.  Get the docs directory that comes with
                 the source and poke through that, there is a pretty good
                 fine-tuning section.  Also, install SWAT, its online help
                 for the various parameters is pretty good.  And sign your
                 name.  -John
        \_ The two products we use are Samba, which we've found to have
           excellent performance (esp with new 2.0 version), and Sharity
           http://www.obdev.at/Products/Sharity.html. Samba lets you
           see NFS mounted file systems on NT machines, and Sharity lets
           you see SMB mounted (NT) file systems on Unix machines. Good luck.
           \_ There is also sharity light (free), which is nice for
              occasional use, but doesn't do encrypted passwords and can
              fall down when left alone for a long time.  Forget url,
              look in FreeBSD ports collection.  -John
           \_ Sharity.  Perfect.  Exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks!

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

1/27    Interesting list of useful unix tools. Shout out to

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

9/4     I'm seriously very happy Soda no longer runs FreeBSD.
        FreeBSD is really going down the tubes

           as it has since the switch to Linux.  And that blog post is
           only abou the installer, not the running OS

7/24    Is dos2unix available somewhere?  Someone added all those Ctrl-M's to

This is the file-sharing protocol used by Windows, OS/2, Samba and many others. Mounting means that you can open files directly from the server with any application you like, as if they were on a local disk. Other clients (such as smbclient from the Samba suite) provide only an ftp-like interface where you can copy files to and from the share but cannot open them directly on the server. We want to be fair and complement the feature list with a list of known deficiencies. Sharity can't be the solution for every problem on earth, of course. See our 14 Sharity Limitations page for features you might expect but which are not implemented. The first thing you should try is Sharity's built-in help. Click the question mark button in the main window and then click a setting or control for help. If you prefer interactive web resources, please visit our 15 Sharity Support page. It contains a knowledge base and a list of known bugs, you can subscribe to our mailing lists and you find our support e-mail addresses there. If the limitations of the free version are too tight for your home network, we have a special offer for you: a 2 client license for only 59 US Dollars. This special offer is limited to home users and is only available with our precompiled binaries for Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD. Students or Educational Institutions can get a regular license for free. Demo-mode is limited to 3 levels of directory hierarchy.
