To: comment@i5.nyu.edu Subject: i5 nslookup bug The "view" command in /usr/sbin/nslookup on i5 blows up, because it gives an illegal argument to sed. To elicit the bug, simply say nslookup server dns1.belwue.de ls urz.uni-heidelberg.de > outfile view outfile sed: command garbled: /^$/,${/@/,$d}/^[^ ]/{hs/^\([^ ]* *\).*/\1/x}1,/^$/{w /var/tmp/nslookup_tmpLga4IXd}/^ /{Gs/^ *//s/^\(.*\)\n\(.*\)$/\2\1/} To make the sed command legal, we would have to insert the following twelve newlines into the first argument that nslookup gives to sed: /^$/,${/@/,$d } /^[^ ]/{h s/^\([^ ]* *\).*/\1/ x } 1,/^$/{w /var/tmp/nslookup_tmpLga4IX d } /^ /{G s/^ *// s/^\(.*\)\n\(.*\)$/\2\1/ } Would it be possible to do this? Thanks.
