Instructions for Mounting
                          socrates.cs Filesystems
                                 Via Linux

0. Make a directory called "socrates" off of your home directory. For
example, if your local username is "weimer"

$ mkdir /home/weimer/socrates

1. You must become root or otherwise have administrator access to your
machine to set things up the first time.

2. Create a file named /etc/credentials-socrates that is two lines long.

root# cat /etc/credentials-socrates
username=CSLAB/mst3k
password=XYZ123

Replace "mst3k" with your UVA id and "XYZ123" with your password.

3. Change the permissions of the credentials file so that only root can
read or write it:

# chmod og-rwx /etc/credentials-socrates
# ls -la /etc/credentials-socrates
-rw------- 1 root root 37 2010-03-18 14:21 /etc/credentials-socrates

4. Edit /etc/fstab, adding this line above the one that says "proc":

//socrates/mst3k                /home/my-local-username/socrates   cifs //credentials=/etc/credentials-socrates 0 0

Replace "mst3k" with your UVA id and "my-local-username" with your username
on your linux machine. For example, my UVA id is "wrw6y" but my local machine
username is "weimer".

5. Mount the filesystem:

# mount /home/my-local-username/socrates

Replace "my-local-username" with your username on your linux machine (e.g.,
"weimer").

6. You no longer need to be root, and should be able to change directories
to something like /home/weimer/socrates/public_html/cgi-bin

7. You're done!

As of Tue Mar 30 10:21:15 EDT 2010, Wes Weimer has verified that this
exact process works from a linux machine at cs.virginia.edu. However, if it
does not work for you, you should use the supported lab machines.
