Actually, it's the Administrator's Reference Manual, but no matter how thinly it's sliced it's still bologna. *It doesn't belong there, it belongs in the Programmer's Reference Manual*, which is where we're putting it (are you listening, AT&T?). The only part useful to admins is the disk partitioning. The rest is of infinitely more use to programmers than to admins. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
