Curse those lazy/bad original Unix developers who refused to give
commands sensible names (we have no "unmount" or "password" commands,
but "umount" and "passwd").  I suppose we're lucky that we have
"useradd" and not "usad".  ;-\

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
