Mounting SIT home drives on Linux

tim.dawborn on Mar 30th 2009

Assuming you are on the SIT network, you are able to mount your SIT home drive locally using SAMBA.

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=abcd9999,servern=ITCASESEC,uid=foo,gid=1001 //itcasesec/abcd9999 /mnt/abcd9999

where your SIT username is “abcd9999″, your local username is “foo”, and the GID of “foo” is “1001″. The folder /mnt/abcd999 should already exist (or change it to where ever you would like to mount the folder).

In case you’re wondering what they are, they’re actually Cisco wireless access points that’s connected to the university network. This means, anyone with a UniKey account will be able to access the internet while connected.

So far I’ve spotted 2 APs in the Masters area, and another AP in the SIT lecture theatre. All you have to do is to find the access point (named “usyd”), and connect to it. Then, you can connect to the internet via VPN or SSH, just follow our tutorials.
