I'm trying to write a for loop that descends into a list of

though. Most of the directories have spaces and they are making

Hi,
Yesterday we dist-upgraded several Debian stable machines that were
missing several security updates. The updates included perl and mysql.
Approximately 3.5 hours later some perl scripts began malfunctioning,
problems with sql quote escaping. I have little other information.

Good poin
OK, I think we took on a lot of newbies, or the regulars are getting
really bad about this. Your MUA puts the cursor of your editor at the
top of the message because people tend to read top-down to edit, not
as an excuse to top post. Trim what you're not responding to, and

I don't think this is a quoting problem. The problem is your hash mark.
Remember that's a comment character, so you'll need to escape it (put a \ in
front).
Try something like this:
nmblookup -R $(eval echo "$username\#03") -U $nbns
