Don't be silly.  Since the reorganization of the comp.unix.* groups,
standard operating procedure is to cross-post to every available
question/answer group on The Net.  This creates the effect of one
"virtual" group which is sorta like virtual memory and we all know
that's part of UNIX internals so it's correct to post to
comp.unix.internals.  And since any UNIX programmer worth his salt (see
crypt()) knows about virtual anything, the article *must* find its way
to comp.unix.programmer.  :-) :-)

The comp.unix.* reorg has about the same effect as building everything
in /etc, /bin, and /usr/bin into the kernel and then pinning the SOB.


Sorry, Mark.  I don't mean this to be a flame at you because your
article has enough merit to belong in the groups you've selected
(seriously).  I'm really flaming The Institution for what this
wonderful reorganization has done the net.
