Re: [BLUG] scp -p preserving ownership through root user

This is because the files on machine A is created by root, the user who
is running the scp. If you want to preserve all information, you need
to use tar:

ssh machineB -n tar cCf /path/to/file - . | tar xf -

(Or you have to 'su X' on machine A before you do the scp.)

[BLUG] scp -p preserving ownership through root user

I have some files that are owned on machine A by user X. As the root
user on machine A, I run

scp -p files root@machineB

The mode and modification times are preserved, but the ownership is
not. I know that with rsync -a the ownership is preserved, but
according ot the scp man page, ownership isn't preserved with -p. I
just got burned by this. Tell me if I'm insane or not but I could swear
that this worked before. It might have had this in a much older version
of scp, like the old non-openssh version of ssh.

Know your options.

Last chance before the yard sale.

$100 for the whole lot. My wife says the Atari stuff is worth at least $90.

[BLUG] OT: Old game systems anyone?

We have a number of old game systems which we will be selling at a yard
sale this weekend. (Corner of Hillside and Palmer in Bloomington this
Sat/Sun 8am-3pm.)

I wanted to see if anyone was interested in purchasing them as a lump
before the yard sale.

There are:
2 original Nintendo systems
There are a lot of games, including Nintendo storage box
We have regular controllers, guns, wireless controller,
joystick controller. We have 20 or more games.
This includes a head cleaner cartridge.
Atari 2600 and 7800 w/ regular + padel controllers
There are a lot of games, including a catridge stand
We may have close to 50 games (with only a few duplicates).
We have literature for many games, and two original Atari
catalogs.
1 Nintendo N64 - We have a few games for this.
1 Sega Genesis
I don't know that we have any games for this system,
but you do see them pop up at Goodwill and pawn shops.
This includes RF adapters to connect them to TVs.

The majority of it is in a "medium" U-haul box, with some overflow.

I would love to sell the entire lot to someone. In particular, it would
mean I wouldn't have to split it out, as my wife is thinking of selling
them at the yard sale in smaller lots.

Please note: For the MAME fans, owning a cartidge gives you rights to
use the game in any system. Also, the games actually do sell online, so
for the patient (with space) it may be possible to make money from this.

We're asking $150 for the entire lot. It will be more expensive at the
yard sale.

These were my wife's games. We're trading these in as we have a baby on
the way.

Cheers,
Steven Black

[BLUG] Looking to Sell my Computer

Hey everybody,

I'm looking to sell my newer Dell desktop to buy a newer laptop.  I was wondering what you all thought was a fair price for the machine (and of course, if anyone is interested let me know :)  I bought it less than a year ago from Dell.  It is an XPS something or other, I'm not at homer right now so I don't remember the exact model number, I just know it's not the top of the line XPS behemoth.

Intel Quad core @ 2.4ghz
2gigs ram
nvidia 8600 gt
320gig main hd, 2 500 gig extra sata drives  (all western digital 7200rpm)
dual layer dvd burner
19' widescreen dell monitor (which, btw, has a damaged stand.  the monitor works fine, but the stand is a bit messed up)
Vista Home premium came with it as well

Thanks!

Ben
