[Marvin Rush]

I have 2 questions. What is the proper syntax for tar to un-archive a tar.gz
file. The second one is I was trying to use rpm to install a package and got
the error that it needslibldap.so2 needed. Do I have to set some kind of
environment variable or what ever fedora calls it to let rpm know where all
of that stuff is?

I think that may not work. The 'f' in the string 'xfzv' must come last, 
as in 'xzvf'.

Really?  That's how I always do it.

That used to be a requirement. Maybe the syntax loosened up some in 
recent versions. Let me try it that way.

Robbie,

You are right. It evidently does not matter where the 'f' is. Sorry for 
the obsolete advice.

It doesn't matter what order you type the option letters to tar.  They are just
command line options and xzvf, xfzv, fxvz and fzxv all have the exact same
result.  Personal preference is the real winner here.  Score another point for
Unix-like operating systems. <grin>

The v isn't really needed either, unless you like to see what's going

Mounting windows folders as drives

I am trying to mound a folder on my windows box as a drive on my linux box
say the folder is called mp3 how would I go about that???? Thanks Marv

Re: Mounting windows folders as drives

Assuming your windows partition is a FAT 32 as opposed to FAT 16, use a
mount command like this:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda3 /mnt/mp3
Note: I assumed your windows partition was located on /dev/hda3 and a
subdirectory of mp3 exists under the /mnt directory.  Look over and read
carefully the manpage for mount.  It will tell you a lot.

I may be misreading the original question, but I took it to mean
mounting a shared folder from another box. Steve's directions are good
for mounting a local drive or partition. If its a network share use

mount //<box_name>/<share_Name> /mnt/something

Where <box_name> and <share_name> are the names of the netbios name and
folder name on windows box respectively.

This assumes you have samba installed and working and the share is
visible from the linux box of course.

That could be a good point.  Actually, if network mounting is in order,
it should be smbmount instead.  If you use mount, you would have to
specify a mount type like smbfs or something.  If mount can be used with
samba now, then that's something new I didn't know.  Yes, I was
interpreting the original question as if it were on the same machine.

No. Either install the dependency by hand, or use yum instead of rpm
like so:

yum install [package]

Yum will take care of the dependencies.

Re: questions

Questions like this one are good candidates for the apropos command:

apropos irc

Unfortunately, a string like 'irc' is common, so you'll get a lot of
hits you don't want (like the word 'circular.') Pipe this to more.

Configure your Samba.

Hint 1: it's called smb

Hint 2: Use swat to configure it

Hint 3: Turn swat on under /etc/xinetd.d/ and do:

service restart xinetd

cifs was Re: Mounting windows folders as drives

[Garrett Klein]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

	On the subject of mounting network windows shares, I figured out something cool last night. If anyone's ever tried mounting, say, their work fileserver and it runs Windows Server 2003, they've gotten an error about packet signing being disabled (assuming you're doing something like mount -t smbfs //path/to/share). There is actually a separate mount.cifs program which is included with grml (and thus most likely Debian). Slackware doesn't have it, but if you google for "cifs vfs" you'll find it. What I can now do for my school's network drive is the following... though it's on GRML so it'll be a bit different for you people.
mkdir /mnt/cifs
mount -t cifs -o user=ima74a,uid=1000,gid=1000 //domain.isbrockets.org/students /mnt/cifs
This gives me access to, amung other things, my home directory on the school's network. Very cool indeed!

RE: Mounting windows folders as folders on linux box.

[Marvin Rush]

Well I can do the mount by hand like so

Mount //marvin/mp3 /home/mp3 that works and I can read the files from the
other machine. What I would like to do is make that process automatic so I
don't have to type it every time the computer re-boots. I have looked at the
samba file and swat but most of this referrs to doing things the other way
letting people see the folders on a linux box in windows.Thanks Marv

That could be a good point.  Actually, if network mounting is in order, it
should be smbmount instead.  If you use mount, you would have to specify a
mount type like smbfs or something.  If mount can be used with samba now,
then that's something new I didn't know.  Yes, I was interpreting the
original question as if it were on the same machine.

Talk question

[Marvin Rush]

		I did a yum install talk and it did install it. But I still
can't make it work between users. Still says no talk daemon found.

Re: Mounting windows folders as folders on linux box.

[Chris Norman]

I'm not sure what distro you're using, but you could eithr use rc.local, or 
probably a better idea is to use /etc/fstab.

Re: Talk question

[Chris Norman]

You need to do yum -y install talk-server and possibly yum -y install ntalk.

Then go into /etc/xinetd.d and edit both talk and ntalk to enable them (find 
the the line that says "disable=yes" and change it to "disable=no"); then 
restart xinetd with:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart.

Bob's your Uncle. :-D
