You know, it's really amusing watching people post incorrect information.
Only slightly less amusing than that is watching people post outdated
information.

Read my photons:  if you get the C2 SLS "fixit" disk from SCO, you will not
have that problem.  Period.  End of discussion.  I applied it, on kithrup,
as soon as I found out about it (which was about two weeks after it was made
available, dammit, gotta do something about that internal communication
network 8-)), and immediately star'red out the uucp and news accounts.  Yet,
I continue to modify their crontab files.
