title of third subsection of chapter 5 |
The third subsection of chapter 5 is titled "Domain Name Service (DNS)".
While perhaps plausible, DNS actually stands for Domain Name System. See RFC 1034, for example. It's really hard to believe that the editors and proofreaders at O'Reilly would allow such a serious mistake to make it all the way into print, and that nobody else has reported this error before.
Of course, the mistake also exists in the pages within chapter 5 that constitute this subsection.

"flags" hash key |
In building the hash for creating the Windows user account, the bit flags need to be set properly in order to set the correct information for the account. The book example is AND'ing the values:
flags => ( Win32API::Net::UF_SCRIPT() &
Win32API::Net::UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT() )
which results in setting none of the flags; i.e., '0'.
These values should be OR'ed instead:
flags => ( Win32API::Net::UF_SCRIPT() |
Win32API::Net::UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT() )
which results in the flags being set properly; i.e., '1000000001'
For reference: http://search.cpan.org/~jdb/Win32API-Net-0.12/Net.pm#USER_FLAGS

Original writing:

Correct:
my @types = ("", "Error", "Warning", "", "Information");

Bottom of page 492, line five from top of 493 |
The 'nemesis' command line at bottom of page 492
shows source address 192.168.0.2.
The output shown at top of page 493
shows source address 192.168.0.4.
I think these should show the same address.
