One big exception. ldso. WARNING: if you've upgraded to hamm's ldso, DO NOT DOWNGRADE ldso to bo any more (or make sure you've got a statically linked "cp" binary somewhere). It's only one package, but many people have already been bitten by this, and it bites rather hard, so I thought I'd send out a warning to people on this list too. (It's also in the hamm description for ldso, but who reads those descriptions?) -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/usr/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) #what's this? see http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
