As a followup to the rwhod patch, I've modified /etc/rc to create
the needed /var/rwho directory if it does not exist (idea taken from
the IRIX /etc/init.d/network file). I noticed that the boot files
toss in some comment about rwhod being a "time waster" or a
"performance pig" or "will saturate networks with many hosts".
FreeBSD's /etc/rc and /etc/sysconfig don't give any warning (although
it is turned off by default).
