In the sentence, "...and http, ftp, imap, smpt, and nntp...", I think "smtp" is misspelled as "smpt".

Example 6-7 |
In the example 6-7 in the first line it imports the function "createChecksum" that was created in the last example with the name "create_checksum". The error appears again in example 6-8m which also has a typo in the code, which is wrongly indented in input line 8.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Also, there is a superfluous IPython prompt in the interactive example between 6-7 and 6-8; In [5] should be omitted. |

Last code sample |
The input lines 4 and 5 repeats the same code unnecesarily.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Specifically, the IPython prompts [4] and [5] are duplicated, but [4] didn't do anything. I would just remove the [5] prompt altogether. |

2nd example |
"df -h" should be: " df -h", and likewise with "du -h /tmp".
Else, the resulting commands will be something like: "ssh homerdf -h", which would be a problem.
