animesharma,
A lot of us who may be strong in terms of the quality or speed of technical work that we do are better at handling that than understanding the nuances of office culture. As someone with Tourette Syndrome (fairly mild, but I often am a little bit "twitchy", I have been misunderstood on many occasions, but since getting into IT/Telecom, my experience and interest have often left me handling more "difficult" work than my peers. Still, it is not uncommon for standouts to find themselves at the business end of disdain and eventual disrespect from people who are different from them. It's unfortunately cost me some great jobs, and I have found myself getting to know folks in positions i start who ask me what I'm doing in the positions because I have a broader deeper experience and understanding of certain things, and I know that sometimes folks just don't like me, despite acting as though they do. However, I have gotten much better at interacting with people, and always find folks who are genuine and even pleasant to work with. While I'd love to find myself in a position where I am understood and appreciated by everyone, the truth is that it doesn't always work out that way. Still, I've had some great experiences, and learned a lot by trying to branch out when possible (and some of those folks I've worked for are willing to give me great references, which always helps). If you feel like this situation is getting more uncomfortable, and like you are less appreciated/understood as time goes on, figure out who you can get a reliable reference from, spruce your resume up, and get your name out there, because it's not worth relying on the goodwill of people that you are not clicking with. More experience will probably help when it comes to making allies and positive business relationships, but if you really do good work and don't look down on people who aren't as technically inclined (and open to learning new skills) you will be able to find better matches for you, whether under different management, in a different location or department, or for another employer.

rplay.hosts

RPLAY.HOSTS(5)							File Formats Manual						    RPLAY.HOSTS(5)

NAME

       rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

DESCRIPTION

       The  rplay.hosts  file contains a list of hosts and access permissions which rplayd uses to validate incoming connections.  Each line is of
       the form:

	      hostname[:permission]

       where

       hostname       is the name of a remote host or a host's IP address.  Wildcards can be used within IP addresses  to  match  multiple  hosts.
		      The wildcard character is "*".

       permission     is an optional field containing any combination of the following characters:

		      r  the host can read sounds.

		      w  the host can write sounds.

		      x  the host can play, stop, pause, and continue sounds.  This is normally called execute permission.

		      m  the host can monitor the audio stream written by rplayd to the audio device.

       "rx" permissions are used when no permissions are specified.

EXAMPLE

       #
       # All hosts have read access:
       #
       *:r

       #
       # Trusted hosts:
       #
       nice-guy.sdsu.edu:rwx
       friend.sdsu.edu:rwx
       amigo.sdsu.edu:rwx
       130.191.224.224:rwx

       #
       # Hosts which can read and execute:
       #
       foo.bar.com:rx
       130.190.*:rx
       146.244.234.*:rx
       using.default.perms.edu

       #
       # Hosts which can monitor the audio stream
       #
       nsa.sdsu.edu:m

FILES

       /usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

SEE ALSO

       rplayd(1)

BUGS

       The permissions for an "*" entry apply to all matching hosts.  The order of this file does not matter.  Specific hosts can have access dis-
       abled with entries like:

       bad.guy.edu:

       however, any matching "*" entries will still apply.
