Anyone seen this? /usr/bin/mh is a symlink to ".", which makes /usr/bin/mh a reference to /usr/bin. The behavior you're seeing is a natural side effect of this. /usr/bin/mh is the original installation directory for the Rand MH, and some third-party tools depended on it; hence the symlink to maintain backwards compatibility. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix Email: jabr at blu.org / URL: http://www.blu.org ICQ#28611923 / AIM abreauj ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Those not competing for alpha geek status usually don't like being encrusted with electronic barnacles everywhere they go." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
