Thanks for your information, Gilbert. I have had users from all over the world
telling me I needed utile14, but it has programs in it that are much older than
the ones I downloaded off of the ftp systems. For example, the shutdown
command has a date of last year, where the shutdown I got with my SLS package
is much newer.
I did create a /etc/brc, but did not set the permissions on it. I will try it
and get back to you on it.
