  Hi..

On a pretty-close-to-related issue, why can't the r utitiles handle ip
addresses?  Seems to be a glaring omission.


  Interesting question.. On SunOS, Ultrix (BSDs ?!) r* commands don't work
  with IP, but on IRIX and AIX (sysV ?!?) it works.

  That's just results of test.. but why ?!  Thank you!


If a site has an IP address, it could potentially run the rpc services.  

ObBug: argh, can't think of any more.  We need more bugs!
