  Ahh -- Octal ! "twelve-characer octal strings".  I used my hex viewer to 
look at a very simple tar file before posting, but couldn't make sence of 
it.
Thanks to both Neil and Bob! -- I found this was a really educational thread.

Back to Mr. O's original question, and using 'find' at the core of the answer.
I just found a cool web-GUI to build more complex find commands (w/o RTFM):

On my system (a full install of Slackware 12.1), I found a description of
the tar format in the file /usr/include/tar.h.  (You might or might not
find this file on other distributions, and it might be necessary to
install some -devel packages to get it...on Slackware it's part of the
glibc package.)

The format described in /usr/include/tar.h appears to be the default
format used by GNU tar.  GNU tar also supports several other historical
tar formats that differ slightly from each other in the size and
formatting of various header fields, but if memory serves, the date/time
format is always a classic UNIX timestamp (a count of seconds since
midnight, January 1, 1970), and most formats store it as a 12-character
octal string.

Re: ls script help

Octal!  Indeed.  I can only guess that it's octal because that makes
the conversion to/from binary slightly simpler.  But it's still not
as simple as you think, because the PDP-11 has a 16 bit word,
and it take 5 1/3 digits to store 16 bits.  The 11-digit octal
number would hold 33 bits, so it was probably stored in
memory as a 32 bit number.  Tar may or may not have preceded
the "long int" type in C, which would have hidden that complexity.

I *think* I recall that tar wasn't in 6th Edition Unix.  It was new with
7th Edition.  Or maybe not.

It's really hard for me to imagine the mindset that would specify
an external format based on saving a couple of instructions
reading and writing it.  And I was there at the time.  Tar was
actually an advance over older formats because it used ASCII
instead of binary fields, thus avoiding endian issues.

                   (aka Groveling Through File Systems)

                                    by

                           Deer Run Associates

 While it may not be as sexy as they make it look on TV, there are a
 number of powerful Open Source tools available for analyzing file
 systems and recovering data-- even data that may have been deleted by
 the attacker. This talk will start with an overview of the standard
 Unix file system architecture and discuss tools for imaging file
 systems, suggest a few useful tools and idioms for finding clues in
 your images, and cover how to discover "interesting" data from deleted
 files and re-assemble that data into an actual file image.

 Hal Pomeranz is the founder and technical lead of Deer Run Associates,
 and has been active in the system and network management/security
 field for over twenty years. As a senior member of the Faculty for the
 SANS Institute, Hal developed the SANS "Step-by-Step" course model and
 currently serves as the track coordinator and primary instructor for
 the SANS/GIAC Linux/Unix Security Certification track (GCUX). In 2001
 he was given the SAGE Outstanding Achievement Award for his teaching
 and leadership in the field of System Administration.

 Note:
   (1)  The slides for the presentation are available at:

   (2)  Randal Schwartz will do a live cast of this presentation at:

        You can follow along if you have a web browser,
        and if you register, you can also participate in the chat,
        and Randal might relay your questions to the speaker.
        The recording of the session will be available afterward
        at the same address.

             As of May 2008, the Mid Willamette Valley Linux Users
             Group was under reconstruction.  Once this is done
             see http://www.lug.corvallis.or.us/ for details.

       P.S.  The Eugene Linux Users Group meets several times a month.
             See http://www.euglug.org for details.

Re: hello all, and a question about WoW....

You shouldn't *need* Cedega. From what I've heard WoW works quite well with regular WINE. I tend to only play
FPS games with linux clients. If I had time I'd try to install WoW. Maybe on a meeting sometime.

Speaking of games....

I am a big fan of RTS games. As such I've been kind of assed-out when it comes to finding such games that will run on Ubuntu. Recently I came across a game engine called Spring. It is open-source, and so far freeware. There have been several mods made for it, and supposedly they have gone through the trouble of cobbling together installs for a number of linux varients. What I'd like to know is if any of you have tried it out, and if so what you thought of it.
