>Description:
My UnixWare (System V Release 5) system allows -n # to be used for
the last command, and I find it annoying that the FreeBSD version
doesn't accept this.
The Patch below will allow both.
Unfortunately, I'm not a mdoc person, so I did NOT do a man page
patch, as I'm not familiar enough with it. If a doc person could
point me to the appropriate doc, or make the change, I'd appreciate it.
The patch is to /usr/src/usr.bin/last:
>How-To-Repeat:
type last -n 20, notice error.
