RE: [MLUG] Accessing Bengal from home LAN

["McNutt, Justin M." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Also, here's what I use to mount shares on the IATS-TIGER server from /etc/fstab.  I don't automount it, as you can see, but this works pretty well once the VPN client is launched:

//iats-tiger/iats_org /iats-tiger smbfs noauto,ip=128.206.52.129,credentials=/etc/smbfs.passwd,workgroup=UMC-USERS,uid=500,rw 0 0

The file /etc/smbfs.passwd looks like this:

username = myname
password = mypass

This should work just as well for bengal.  Just use "ip=128.206.12.190" and //bengal/someshare instead.

Lastly, if you need help getting the VPN client working on a Linux box, let me know and I can help you with the profile.
