Size depends on system. Generally 4 byte. Amish.

by Unmesh Dhake

Halo, I am having RH7.2 installed on machine. On this machine samba is also configured for windows connectivity. >From this machine i need to access folders on unix machine. For this i added two lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local umount /n_exp_ob umount /n_imp_ob smbmount //raman/exp_ob /n_exp_ob smbmount //raman/imp_ob /n_imp_ob Here raman is unix machine name. n_exp_ob & n_imp_ob are linux machine folders where unix machine folders mounted. exp_ob and imp_ob are unix machine folders. Folders are getting mounted correctly, but after some time I am getting following messages on screen continuously and machine stop working. smb_proc_readdir_long: name=\*, result=-2, rcls=1, err=2 Anybody know solution for this. Regards Unmesh

japh (whats obfuscation)

by Satya

In perl, we have japhs. Here are two examples: @a=split(q,,,qq,hgNbueCe nxe\nWf agr ryUpr\,,);for($i=015;;){if($i>=@a ){last};$_=$a[$i++].$a[$i-0xe];y;[A-Ma-mN-Zn-z];[N-Zn-zA-Ma-m];;print} @q=split(q??,qq?,JAPH \nacehklnorstubsqrfcnorkjpfdjpmfehi\ ljpag?);$i=0x13;while($i<=@q){print$q[ord($q[$i++])-0141]} Equivalent to: print"JustAnotherPerlHacker,\n"; Now Philip will tell me the ',' should not be there. This one's from ASR, I forget whose sig it was in: $q=q($@@@#$$@#$$$#@%$@#@$#@@@#@#$$$$#$#$@$%$@@$#$#$@$#$@$$%$$$$#$@#@$@$#@$@#$# $@$);@c=split//,'0etianmsurwdkgohvf0l0Pjbxcyzq';$f=1;$s=0;for$c(split//,$q){if ($c ne'$'&&$c ne"@"){print $f?uc($c[$s]):$c[$s]if$c[$s];$s=$f=0;}else{$s*=2;$s ++;$s++if$c eq'@';}print" "if$c eq'%';}print "$c[$s],\n";#probably too general and Dave Brown posted this one in the same froup: print "xx/yy? ";$_=<>;m,([0-9]+)\s*/\s*([0-9]+),;$j=$1;$b=$2; $d=eval;$f=$d-int $d;$t=$f*$b;print int $d,$t&&" $t/$b","\n"; It's supposed to be some kind of math tutor. Now that I read it carefully, I think I see what he's doing. He said: =item Someone commented that even though Perl actually compiled and ran that, I had obviously just fallen asleep on the keyboard and that's what came out. =cut -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
