I checked that, uppercase "P", as it is in the other *.inf files I
looked at. All seems to be in order.  Anyway, the 2.2.n CD is right
around the corner, right? 

Considering that I have the 2..1.6 bin & sbin files still installed
here, to complete the security upgrade, would you recommend I
recompile all of the /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin & /usr/sbin files? The
2.1.7 source code for these did get installed. A 'make world' I suppose?
