How to make Linux/SOlaris talk to Window

How to make Linux/SOlaris talk to Window

[Mike Ni]

Dear all,

Is there any mailing list or web site where I can get
information about the interaction between
Linux/Solaris/Window?

The Linux/Solaris boxes of my department have some
additional unused capacity, and I would like to see if
there is any good way to put such unused resource into
good use

Thanks in advance
MIke

How you checked out Samba? www.samba.org. I believe it can be complied
on a Solaris box and I know it works on Linux.

Thanks for the information. 

Yes, I heard about SAMBA. It seems to me SAMBA was
designed for handling the access on the file system
level (I am studying it, let me know if anyone think
otherwise). 

In addition to file system, is there any service or
package would help the programmer to better manage the
objects or application programming. (I know there is
CORBA. What are out there in addition to CORBA?)

Thanks
Mike

Yes. CORBA supports remote IPC and lots of different archs/languages. KDE
uses CORBA for IPC.

Another solution, might be Web Services (don't mean anything about .NET and
stuff I ever touch). Specifically, you can use SOAP and XML for remote 
commnunication between application built in different architectures. I'm
sure there is a free implementation of SOAP, but I can't come with a 
link right now.

'Web Services' is a fancy term, I dislike. I hope noone misunderstands
the above paragraph. :-)

Last but not least is sockets. Both Solaris and Linux support BSD sockets
(or a variant closed to the original implementation). Windows have an 
implementation of sockets, too, but I am fine knowing nothing about it. :-)

I'm afraid that in the latter case you'll have to duplicate a lot of
code.

Write to Windows partition from linux as ordinary user

[Abhijit Vijay]

Hi All,

I have a Windows 98 partition mounted on linux. The
directory, /win98 on which I have done the mount is
owned by me, as an ordinary user. However, I find that
I cannot write to the partition except as root. Is
there any way out, so that I do not need to su before
writing?

Regards,
Abhijit.

I'm still very much a newbie so I could be totally off base
here.  I had a problem very similar to yours.  I set up a
local dos drive in fstab to be mounted.  And whenever it
was mounted, all the directories (and files) were owned as
root.  The way that I fixed that was to modify the entry in
fstab to read as such:

/dev/hdd1               /mnt/local_d            vfat    defaults,rw,gid=XXX,uid=XXX  0 0

so that it mounts the drive so it's own by group id XXX and 
user XXX and that did the trick.
If you are just using mount from the command line, there
are switches that do the above.

If a more experienced user knows a better way or can clarify
as to whether or not there are problems with this solution, I'd
be very happy to hear it!

Re: Write to Windows partition from linux as ordinary user

[Paul Furness]

That's a pretty good solution. It _does_ mean that you can only write to
that partition as root or the specified user. This may be a disadvantage
for you, I don't know.

You could add "noauto" to the fstab entry, if you like. That means that
the partition is not mounted by default. If you want to mount it, you
don't need to remember a load of options for mount. If your fstab line
says this:

/dev/hdd1  /mnt/local_d  vfat    noauto,defaults,rw,gid=XXX,uid=XXX  0 0

then you can mount it (you need to be root to mount it) like this:

mount /mnt/local_d

Read the man page of mount. Search for the options 'users' and 'rw'.
