Save kerberos password in keychain for use with kinit on MacOS (was OS X) for use with network drives

Image
I work for a company that uses and Active Directory domain for the internal network. Therefore, kerberos authentication is supported. MacOS also supports kerberos authentication, so I can replicate most of the single sign-on experience on my Mac. I wrote a simple shell script to get a kerberos ticket-granting ticket and mount the network drives: #! /bin/bash # get the local IP address theIP = ` /sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/grep "inet 10" | /usr/bin/grep -v inet6 | /usr/bin/cut -d " " -f2 | /usr/bin/cut -d . -f1` # if IP address starts with 10 then I am probably on work's internal network if [ $theIP -eq 10 ] ; then /usr/bin/kinit -f --enterprise --canonicalize username@company . com@COMPANY . COM /usr/bin/open 'smb://server.company.com/share' fi To make this script really useful, I save my password securely in MacOS's keychain so that kinit can grab it automatically. I use the following command in the terminal:  ...

Samba in Debian 13 with WS-Discovery working properly in Windows 11 without compromising security

Recently, a buddy asked me to help him configure a linux machine with a shared folder that would work on MacOS and Windows 10. Everything work in MacOS without issues. The trouble came when trying to access the share in Windows 10. After a bunch of research, I learned that Windows 10 has a new way of discovering computers on the network and needs to be told in advance what credentials to use.   Samba Configuration Below is what I did to get it all working without compromising security I used this smb.conf file. There is a bunch of stuff to make the Mac clients play nicely and 3 lines to make it work properly with Windows 10/11.  After some testing, I discovered that the share name should NOT be the same as the shared folder name in the path. [global]    workgroup = WORKGROUP    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m    max log size = 1000    logging = file    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d    server r...

Snow Leopard, the Slow Finder, and Path Finder

I don't know about the rest of you, but the Finder on Snow Leopard is extremely slow for me. I was seriously considering downgrading to Leopard, but the exchange support keeps me on Snow Leopard. As I was browsing the forums, I found a post that mentioned Path Finder . I had forgotten about Path Finder. I tried it back when I was using Tiger, but it seemed overkill for my needs. My frustrations with the current Finder led me to give it another try. Oh my goodness! Finally, quick, efficient file browsing! Even network shares are extremely fast. For anyone suffering with Snow Leopard's Finder, give Path Finder from CocoaTech a try. It makes my Mac a joy to use again. For all the KDE users out there, all the nifty utilities and features of Path Finder make me think of the konqueror file browser. It includes dual-pane browsing, tabs, a terminal drawer that opens to the current directory, recent folders/documents list, and more. Check it out if you have time. Once nice ...
