I think this is why they posted this there.  Granted I think they
should have tailored thier posts for the different newsgroups, but
it looks appropriate to me.  What I can't figure out is why this
was posted to comp.sys.sun.misc.  Also, it was bad to crosspost
to both comp.unix.misc and comp.unix.admin.  Normally posts should
just go to one or the other.
