Hi.. > On a pretty-close-to-related issue, why can't the r utitiles handle ip > addresses?Seems to be a glaring omission. Interesting question.. On SunOS, Ultrix (BSDs ?!) r* commands don't work with IP, but on IRIX and AIX (sysV ?!?) it works. That's just results of test.. but why ?! Thank you! -- haiut... Alexander L.
