okay.  yeah. daylight in the swamp did actually occur in the
intervening period between my post and yer reply, however, the
fact that i should have a message refering to "freebsd before 6.2"
vexes me becase i thought i had upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2.  my
uname -a says 6.2 (don't have that right now because i am not at
my home box).

what could be up with that?
