Commented out is not the same as a zero length file as you indicated
in your previous post. Yes, I started out with the same file and
uncommented the lines and added some, and it seems to work just fine.
If you think that default should be something, call it into IBM as a
bug... I haven't installed a non-IBM machine lately (two years), so I
can't remember what most manufacturers default to.
