My son has just informed me that a programme on TV last night mentioned FZ getting a credit in the Linux manual…. He seems to be all over the Linux world. Did we know about this already?
No we didn’t!
- The Linux Manual with a word of thanks to FZ
- “‘zappa’ is an advanced backdoor, which doesn’t listen on a TCP-port for clients, further it waits for a special ICMP-packet and then it ‘connects’ to an UDP-server on the ‘client'”
- Linux-audio-user mailinglist threads on “Apostrophe”.
This concludes today’s geeky intermission…
“…advanced backdoor…TCP-port ….special ICMP-packet…”
I’m SO glad I haven’t got a clue what you are talking about!
Why it’s like an advanced backdoor “app” with TCP thingies that do mysterious operations in the background as the ICMP packet thingamabob for ICMP’ing to the UDP-server does its client side UDP voodoo.
Crystal clear, I mean, really…
Well, I seem to understand the first link – but dont know about the reason. Does anyone know why they thanked anything to FZ?

Few enterprises are flexible enough to put up with Tom Davis’ aversion to schedules, his love of loud guitar riffs, the jokes he scatters throughout his program, his insistence on naming it after a Frank Zappa song (“Zoot Allures”).
Just testing!
Was it everything you hoped it would be?
