- Yeah, well that works on my 386BSD machine but it won't work under
- ULTRIX. The man page is different and I've tried a few permutations but
- none of them work. The instructions are radically different, bsd says
- put the default last, which makes sense to me, Ultrix says put it first.
-
- Anyone know how to get this working under ultrix?
