comsat does not work properly in the system as distributed.  /etc/inetd.conf
lists /etc/comsat for the comsat service and /usr/etc/comsat for the mcomsat
service.  Evidently the latter is the one used, HOWEVER, there was no comsat
in /usr/etc.  This is easily fixed by moving it from /etc to /usr/etc and
placing a symlink to /usr/etc in /etc.

OS: RISC/os 4.0
Configuration:  MIPS M/120, 16MB, 2 328MB disks, cartridge tape, etc.

It woud be nice if someone at MIPS could explain just what mcomsat is all
about, anyway, and why there comsat and mcomsat both exist, rather than just
comsat.
