Worked more on samba—noticed that when I ran smbclient it said I was running 2.2.3a but I had installed 2.2.5, so I tracked down old copies of nmbd and smbd in /usr/sbin and removed them, created symlinks to the same files in /usr/local/samba/bin and now smbclient reflects 2.2.5 instead of 2.2.3a. Similarly, I found old samba files in /usr/bin and removed those as well. Now smbclient sees my correct workgroup instead of "MYGROUP"—I couldn't figure out how to make it stop saying MYGROUP and this was the solution: to remove the older 2.2.3a version of samba I didn't realize was running after installing 2.2.5. However, the samba server is on a different subnet than the one I'm trying to hook it to, and I can't understand from the documentation how to make it work. I tried adding a lmhosts file with the appropriate IP and computer name info but that didn't work. I considered changing my subnet masks from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 but thought I should perhaps check with ENS before doing so. IP forwarding might be a better solution. I bought 3 pairs of shoes at the Nike Sample Sale—a woman comes to UCSF quarterly to sell dealer samples used for purchasing. They're new shoes but at 50% or more off the regular price. I'd been needing athletic shoes and found two very different pairs I liked ($39 and $28) as well as some sleek slippers ($11.50) that I could wear at home to keep my feet warm. Picked up a copy of Macromedia Studio MX—Susie said I could use her department's account to make the purchase. We need the software so that I can understand how others in our School will use products like Dreamweaver to hook up to our Web site's framework for development. Domino's Pizza for dinner.
