About this Book

Like many other books about Unix systems, this one too was created using standard open source tools born in the Unix environment and available for many popular commercial and free implementations of Unix.

The manuscript was created on a variety of computers running OpenBSD and Mac OS X. As he always does, the author used the vi(1) text editor to create and edit the manuscript. Every source Œle that this book was created from is stored in a CVS repository. Spelling was (hopefully) improved with the help of the immortal ispell(1).

The layout of this book was implemented in groff(1), a free implementation of troff (originally by Joseph F. Ossanna) written by James Clark and currently maintained by Werner Lemberg. Fonts used in this book are as standard as they get and come from the default set of fonts found in every implementation of groff(1). All line art was created using gpic(1), while tables and equations were typeset with tbl(1) and eqn(1). Final PostScript and PDF Œles were generated with groff(1), gs(1), and gv(1).

The `packet storm' cover image was generated using Caligari trueSpace, a commercial 3d graphics and animation package. The source 3d objects used to render the Œnal image were generated by an obscenely short Python script running in the Python interpreter built into Caligari trueSpace. After rendering, the image was transfered to Adobe Photoshop and incorporated into the Œnal cover design.
