...and the student was enlightened.

I had one of those "Zen Unix Master" moments with Kev, my Minion, today. He was trying to make a static ssh binary (for reasons we'll not get into) and couldn't make it fly. I looked at it, reran the compile, muttered, changed a flag, reran the compile, added a library, reran the compile, presto. Kev looks at me and says, "how did you know to add that library?". I couldn't come up with an answer that didn't sound like "one day you'll learn, young Jedi". So I grinned and shrugged and went back to beating up Windows servers.
