Berkeley, CS Undergraduate Association Lines: 12 NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu Oops, you've spotted another 0.1 oversight. By default, BSD system's *DON'T* act as routers, primarily for network security reasons (it's unwise for people to unknowingly have routers that can be exploited .. enough said on this, ask your site/network manager about details if this is still obtuse). To enable, define GATEWAY as an option and recompile. This was to be (will be in future versions) a compiled in, binary configurable option. Sorry. This little items are why the release number is pegged at "0" ! Bill.
